well, on this ONE thing, you're NOT correct ;-D

i am old. i use tcsh.

/root# whoami
  root
/root# echo $0
  -tcsh

> Try this:
>   export EDITOR=joe
>   smart channel --edit

which, of course, in tcsh is,

  setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/joe
  smart channel --edit

( ... working ... )

huh? ok. more confused.

(login via ssh ...)
/root# echo $EDITOR
  /usr/bin/joe
/root# smart channel --edit

 OPENS IN "vi"

/root# setenv EDITOR /usr/bin/joe
/root# echo $EDITOR
  /usr/bin/joe
/root# smart channel --edit

 OPENS IN "joe"

/root# unsetenv EDITOR
/root# echo $EDITOR
  /usr/bin/joe
/root# smart channel --edit

 OPENS IN "vi"

???

this does NOT behave this way on osx.  there, settings in
.tcshrc/.cshrc are   honored without fail.

again, ???

as long as it works :-)
