Hi Chuck and Janina. Here's how I have it configured. I have the alternate editor implicitly option enabled. I have nano chosen as the editor of choice with the "-t" along with other things specified on the command line, and now it seems to be doing what I was hoping for. thanks again, Chuck. it seems you can not totally replace the default editor in pine but must use one of the alternate editor options in order for pine to bring up your chosen editor.
