/eli,

   Yes, I suffered through visudo. It's supposed to pick up either VISUAL or
EDITOR and use the defined editor, but it doesn't. So I pull out "Linux in a
Nutshell" to refer to the vi commands and stumble my way through it.

   I did go back and replace any spaces between the initial variable and the
following values with a tab.

Thanks,

Rich
