What were you trying to do?
use /usr/athena/sendbug
What's wrong:
/usr/new/mh/bin/comp ignores the $EDITOR envariable.
When I run 'comp', it starts up a new emacs process (wasteful!)
What should have happened:
It should have run my $EDITOR (/usr/athena/emacsclient).
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
comp(1) doesn't mention $EDITOR, but most reasonable UNIX
programs which call out to a text editor DO pay attention to $EDITOR.
