can anyone help me out how 2 set editor....................

thanks in advance

EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR

srry,

still im not clear,
where i hav 2 specify these things??????

Because your EDITOR variable has not been set in /etc/profile. Incidentally this is AIX so all you need to do is:

export EDITOR=vi

Set this varialbe in /etc/profile and this will resolve the problem permanently.

If you don't have root access, you can set this in your own $HOME/.profile
