Put something like this in your .login/.cshrc (take your pick)

switch (`tty`)
  case '/dev/tty':
  case '/dev/display':
    echo "Terminal type is: $TERM"
    setenv EDITOR ~/com/dm_editor
    setenv VISUAL ~/com/dm_editor
    setenv PAGER  /com/crpad
    breaksw
  default:
    set term=unknown
    source ~/com/termset
    setenv EDITOR /usr/ucb/vi
    setenv PAGER ~/com/less
    stty erase  kill ^U intr ^C quit ^] start ^Q stop ^S eof ^D \
    susp ^Z rprnt ^R flush ^O werase ^W lnext ^V crtkill crterase -nohang
endsw

and here is the script dm_editor


#!/com/sh
# This is a shell hook into the apollo display manager editor.
# Author R. Cloutier -- Aug 8 1986
# Darryl Bergstrom  -- June 10 1989
# 
# This aegis shell script will open a dm editor window to the file that
# is passed as the first argument to this script. 
#  
# change the line below if you want to run on SR9 display ==> tty
IF eqs ((^"/usr/bin/tty")) "/dev/display" THEN
# uncomment this line if you want to have caps mapped to :x in SR9 
# xdmc ce ((^"args ^1 | /bin/sed -e 's/[A-Z]/:&/g'"))
   xdmc ce ^1 
   IF eqs ^1 THEN
      args "You must supply a filename:" "^0 filename"
   ELSE
#      readc -p "Hit the return key AFTER you have saved the file: ^1" ans
      while llkob | fpat ^1 > /dev/null do
      enddo
   ENDIF
ELSE
   args "Cannot use a display manager edit window, using ex, instead."
   /bin/ex ^1
ENDIF

This works here at hi-csc and should elsewhere.  Much faster you get to
use the DM editor.
