[darcs-users] darcs 1.0.8 not honouring XEDITOR/EDITOR/VISUAL environment variables

[Asfand Yar Qazi]

Hi,

Whenever I enter a long comment for a record, darcs keeps pulling up
GNU Emacs (via the 'emacs' command) even though I've got the VISUAL,
XEDITOR and EDITOR variables set to use 'xemacs'.  Darcs just doesn't
seem to be reading those variables.

What can I do to make it do what the manual says it's meant to, i.e.
read those environment variables and use the contents for the editor
for long comment?

Thanks
