Yes that is correct, but most new users do not know how to use vi or most alternate console text editors.
I usualy alias pico to "pico -w" then export EDITOR as pico, because I prefer it for quick editing. I use vi for bulk editing. Since most new users probably have not installed pine, what I do probably wouldn't have helped. When I run visudo after I have made these changes visudo uses 'pico -w' to do the editing rather than vi.
NOTE: Pico's "-w" option turns off automatic wraping which can be a pain when editing config files.
Using a GUI text editor to copy/modify one of the examples is fairly straight forward, as I intended my suggestion to be.

When running as root, edit "/etc/sudoers" and grant yourself privledge to certain commands or all commands. Then when running as a regular user you can execute the enabled commands like this :
sudo /sbin/ifconfig
Enhanced editing: visudo That command will edit /etc/sudoers AND check for syntax on exit. Very helpful. Rui
