.bash_rc export EDITOR=

If you change the default editor in your .bashrc file, when you use $EDITOR in your script, your favorite editor will then be used. I modified mine to use pico..... much to jbsnakes dismay

Does anyone know what the path is to the actual $EDITOR-setting file in OSX? I'm running Tiger, under which the .profile apparently isn't it. I used the following in my .profile:

export EDITOR=/usr/bin/emacs

but when I type something like "edit foo", foo opens up in TextWrangler...
The awkward thing is that I seem to recall having *SET* it to be TextWrangler somewhere before.
(I was probably following a tutorial that did something like that long ago, and lost track of where the file lives...)

I don't know much about the hierarchy of which files are evaluated in what order as bash loads...
