I can see that.

I changed the editor setting to a script that prints something,
reads a line and then starts to edit. It doesn't seem to be
called when I press `e.' I still get the `unmodified' message.
So should I set EDITOR and VISUAL to something? I just upgraded
to a higher solaris 8. Maybe that has to do something with the
problem as well.
