I don't find such a file.
I suppose I could create it and see what happens.

I tried, and I gkeep getting some error about a file error with that 
file, because the structure of it has changed or I should copy the one 
from /etc/mc (which I did).
But I'm confused where to put the above.
I see "include/editor"in several places.
When I figured to put it where I first see include/editor, I get the 
complaint about the restructuring.
I put it elsehwere I get:

/usr/bin/sensible-editor: 25: /usr/bin/sensible-editor: 
/usr/bin/vim.basic: not found
But I definitely have vim installed. I used it to edit the file in question.

Thanks,
Tony
