Some X applications let you start up an editor of your choice when editing files. For instance, xrn lets you use vi by giving the argument -editorCommand xterm -e vi %s, which starts up a vi in the xterm on the file to be edited. I didn't find that option in xmh and was wondering if anyone has a version of xmh that has that feature.

(I don't want vi either), but Jacob's suggestion is just what I want!
