Bad form to quote my own message, but oh well. It doesn't appear that 
the external editor worked. It is somehow running in the composer 
window (neat trick) rather than opening up a new window via "xterm -e 
vi &" or equivalent. But once I cursor into the window, I can't do 
anything with the keyboard - the usual vim keys won't work. So I'm 
back to normal as far as the composer editor is concerned for now.
