Alas, even though I have both EDITOR and VISUAL set in both .bashrc and .bash_profile, crontab -e insists on invoking vi, an editor that I despise, and refuse to learn.  (I prefer nano, and have that set as my default editor for EVERYTHING in a terminal.)  Does anybody know how to force crontab to do what I want, not what it's author wants?

egreshko@meimei ~]$ export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ crontab -e
