Administering your system with SCOadmin

Changing the default editor

The file editor used by applications such as the System Defaults Manager can be defined in the EDITOR environment variable. Set the variable on the command line as in these examples:

Bourne or Korn shell:

EDITOR=/usr/bin/X11/scoedit; export EDITOR

C shell:

setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/X11/scoedit

You can also add EDITOR to your shell initialization file. For the C shell, simply add the above line to your .login or .cshrc file. For the Bourne or Korn shells, you need to add the bold elements to your .profile file:

   SHELL=/bin/sh
   HOME=/
   PATH=/bin:/etc:/usr/bin:/tcb/bin
   EDITOR=/usr/bin/X11/scoedit
   

# set terminal type eval `tset -m ansi:ansi -m :\?ansi -e -s -Q`

export TERM PATH SHELL HOME EDITOR
