The number is only important inasmuch as it sets the order the files will be read. Normally, this is not an issue but you can use it to override an earlier setting by putting the correct one in a file starting with a higher number. If EDITOR is being reset and you can't find it, it's probably being done in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile "grep ~" and "grep /etc" are your friends -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
