What I'm complaining about is the lack of foresight in the Mail design in requiring an absolute path and not using the search path. For instance I might want to temporarily use my private copy of vi for everything. For example, less uses $VISUAL (or was it $EDITOR?) too. I don't want to have to edit lots of config files. I just want to change it in .cshrc once. Ken
