I am using UCBLogo on Lubuntu Linux. When I edit a procedure, the program goes to a built-in editor rather than JOVE, which I have installed on my system, and have learned how to use. The built-in editor is OK, but I would rather use JOVE, especiallyfor large programs with many procedures.
According to the UCBLogo documentation, the interpreter will use JOVE if I have the EDITOR environment variable set to jove. But Lubuntu doesn't show an EDITOR variable when I echo $EDITOR. When I checked, Lubuntu doesn't have a .bashrc file in thehome folder. So next I did EDITOR=jove and export EDITOR, and ran logo again, but still no JOVE editor.
So next I did META-X:shell and ran Logo from the shell inside JOVE. That didn't work either. So, I'm not sure what to try next.

OK, I tried SETDEITOR "usr/bin/jove after doing a whereis jove in bash. No change. I'm beginning to think that the editor has been hard-codded into place. If I don't get any replies, I guess my next step is to get the source code.

echo $EDITOR will show nothing until you actually put a value in EDITOR. These variables don't exist until the first time they are defined. It's
up to you to define EDITOR to point at the EDITOR you want to use and
how depends on what shell you are using.
