The issue is not that this does not work (it does).  The issue is that
this is even more cumbersome than editing ~/.VfxForth/VfxForth.ini.

Instead of everyone having to configure their editor for each
application in some configuration file (or with some
application-specific commands), there is a standard way to do it,
through the EDITOR environment variable.

Whoever did the Unix port of SwiftForth did a very good job, in that
area better than the current LOCATE in Gforth.
