Does anybody know how to change the text editor application that is

MacOSX 10.4.6?
Is that even possible?
In chapter 12.7 of the current manual (2.9.3) it says
lilypond-invoke-editor tests the environment variable for EDITOR.
I first changed the EDITOR in my .profile, but clicking on a note in the
.pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly file with the LilyPond.app.
I then followed the directions in a rather old link from the apple
developers website to create a .MacOSX folder and an environment.plist,
and in that I put:
<key>EDITOR</key>
<string>the/path/to/my/other/text/application/</string>
...and logged out and back in.
Clicking on a note in the pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly
file with LilyPond.app.
I have nothing against the LilyPond.app, but I do most of my texts with
TextWrangler, including my lilypond scores, and I thought it would be
convenient to have the point-and-click open the appropriate files again
right into that editor.
I'd be very grateful for any clues.
On MacOS X, it doesn't work like that. The application is registered via
CFBundleURLTypes entries in the Info.plist file. The process involves
some AppleScript magic which I cut & pasted from some newsgroup
postings. I could add a sponsorerd feature for this, but it will take
me some effort (for which I have to charge.) It might be more efficient
to talk to Ed Baskerville and have him add something to his lilypad
application.
