1. It needs to be a command-line editor. 
2. If the editor in question is not on your $PATH, you'll need to
specify the full path in the editor_command setting.

The stand-alone (read: not App Store) version of TextWrangler comes with
a command-line editor that gets installed at /usr/local/bin/edit. If you
call 'edit' from the command line, it opens TextWrangler's GUI editor.
