Anyone know how I can change the default editor from pico to vi?
(i've noticed editing my .pinerc file doesn't seem to work).

This ought to go into the FAQ that's being written.  I think the 
answer is you can't, but you can make vi your alternate editor and can 
manually switch to that each time you enter the composer.

This is something WE would like to have possible as well, since WYSE 
terminals and the editing choices in pine don't get along as well as they 
could (^U, ^K for example)
