If you set $VISUAL in your environment to "/usr/local/bin/vim" (assuming
that's where it lives) then send-pr ought to use that for your editor.
The same is true for many other utilities which use an editor such as
less, cvs etc. Only need to be careful that in single-user mode you may
not have /usr/local available in which case a quick "unset VISUAL" or
"unsetenv VISUAL" ((t)csh) is all you need.
(If VISUAL is not set most utilities then look for $EDITOR.
Traditionally EDITOR was expected to be a line-editor which would work
on a teletype, but not much call for that these days :-)).
