Thanks Carlos, I found it:

/etc/hxtools.conf:EDITOR="/usr/bin/joe";

$%$@#G%^ Jan! Why don't you use vi like a normal ultimate super-human
kernel hacker???

You have obviously never worked with Wordstart or one of it off shoots in
dos then cus joe follows the same keyboard shortcuts / functions joe is
great drn vi is way way way too much like edlin to be used nightmares are
made of lesser things .

It looked a lot like dos wordperfect... I was fine once I found ^k+h ;-)

Have to say i found joe the easiest editor to use by far i have tried vi
several times and always end up with fried brain syndrome .

Think i may even still have an early version of WP lurking wonder if it would
run in one of the dos emulators have to have a play one time .
