Some X applications let you start up an editor of your choice when editing
files.  For instance, xrn lets you use vi by giving the argument
-editorCommand xterm -e vi %s, which starts up a vi in the xterm on the
file to be edited.  I didn't find that option in xmh and was wondering
if anyone has a version of xmh that has that feature.

Thanks for your help,
