Log Message:
dot.profile: reword the comment about EDITOR
Push the scary cool story about ed(1) from the front page. The user
is more interested in the options available to them, so move the
sentence about emacs and nano closer to the beginning of the comment.
TBH, I was a bit incredulous, but sh's own fc _does_ use ed if EDITOR
is not set, though it seems to be the only program in base to do this.
Speak of a self-fulfilling prophecy...
