  This command invokes the specified editor and ensures that the
  proper environment has been set up. For example, for the editor emacs
  (which is the default),
  an emacs initialization file is executed, the Unix environment variable
  EDITOR is set, and an X terminal window is started that contains the editor.
  Various X resources, such as the window title, are also set. The
  window is displayed using the X Windows environment variable $DISPLAY.
</ul>
