I have spent sometime trying to figure out how to change the default
editor in Midnight Commander. I am running XFCE most of the time on 
Fedora 19

I have tried suggestions from Googling including exporting EDITOR in 
$HOME/bashrc...running select-editor ( doesn't appear to be on Fedora 
)and creating a .select_editor text file in HOME. None have worked so
far.

If I open a terminal first then m-c loads the proper editor...but if I
call m-c from a desktop file which loads a terminal, then loads m-c with 
the -e option then vi is loaded.

I am missing something.
