default editor
export VISUAL=vim
Sets vim as the default editor, I think. At least, when I run:
crontab -e
to edit the cron jobs it now opens with vim instead of nano.

I should figure out what that export command is really doing. sending an assignment of the editor name to a control file somewhere, I assume.
Haven't successfully run a cronjob yet, though.
