yeah, there aren't really any docs right now, besides the readme file
in /pub/yabbs/clients.  I'm planning on writing one, but haven't had a
chance to.

If you don't specify an editor with your EDITOR environment variable
it should run the internal yabbs editor.  I'll check this out just to make
sure, but that is how it worked last time I checked.

The one thing that is a bit screwed is that it will try and use the less
pager unless you specify another one w/ PAGER.  If you set pager to
be "internal" it will use the internal one (you can do this for the
EDITOR as well).

You could set EDITOR in your .cshrc or likewise.
