What if VISUAL and EDITOR specify two different editors? Why are there

knobs on the same control, I wonder?
Historically it's not the same control. VISUAL is supposed to be a full screen editor like vi or pico, while EDITOR is a line editor like ed. Nowadays I guess they're both there for historical and compatibility reasons
I just did a little experiment and determined that if both are set, VISUAL takes precedence. Paul
