I'd also suggest making it the default EDITOR/VISUAL.  If you're an
experienced user, you know how to make vi your default again.

Along with the myriad of other "little easy tweaks" one has to perform
with every upgrade.  Perhaps leave defaults alone and prominently display
a "README-FOR-DUMMIES" file that extols the simplicity of "ee".
The less one needs to remember and fiddle the better.
Maybe rename it. ;)  Cheers - Bruce

        I don't know wheter setting EDITOR/VISUAL to ee should be a
        default, or maybe set by the installer if the 'novice user'
        option is selected. I'm tending towards the latter at the
        moment...
