well, the answer to your question, is "apparently, yes!" :-{

checking here,

  /root# echo $EDITOR
	  EDITOR: Undefined variable.
  /root# set EDITOR = joe
  /root# echo $EDITOR
	  joe
  /root# setenv EDITOR vim
  /root# echo $EDITOR
	  joe
  /root# env|grep EDITOR
	  EDITOR=vim
  /root# set|grep EDITOR
	  EDITOR  joe
	  _       env|grep EDITOR
  /root# smart channel --edit
	  (OPENS in 'vim')
  /root# setenv EDITOR joe
  /root# env|grep EDITOR
	  EDITOR=joe
  /root# smart channel --edit
	  (OPENS in 'joe')

aha.

so, i,

  /root# echo "setenv EDITOR joe" > ~/.cshrc
  /root# cat ~/.cshrc
	  setenv EDITOR joe
  /root# exit
  (re-login)

  /root# env|grep EDITOR
	  EDITOR=joe
  /root# smart channel --edit
	  (OPENS in 'joe')

finally!

THANK YOU!
