Hi all,

as the fixed choice of editors is quite a nuisance I prepared a
changed version for tests. Please find it at
https://github.com/dl1jbe/tlf/tree/new_editor

Download the code and build TLF as told in the INSTALL file. Do not
forget the 'autoreconf -i' step.

The new version accepts any string as editor command and will just call
that program with the logfile name as parameter.

That means

EDITOR=my-shiny-editor

in logcfg.dat will call

'my-shiny-editor <logfilename>'

So a simple EDITOR=nano should do afterwards.

Please test and give feedback. 

73, de Tom DL1JBE
