Yes, some editors / systems recognize an environment variable $EDITOR 
but don't ask me which ones.

Setting file associations in KDE isn't a problem and if you do this as 
root the settings are global for the whole box. 

The *.svx files on my computer I associated in Konqueror (the KDE file 
manager) with Nedit which is my favorite Linux editor. I created a 
simple syntax highlighting pattern for it so I can recognize *commands, 
comments and data with one quick view. I also wrote some Nedit macros 
which I can use to run cavern, aven and printps on the open *.svx file 
from within the editor. I use Nedit as simple GUI for Survex. 

Lucky caving

Microsoft? Is that some kind of a toilet paper?
