Re: zsh vs bash

This subject brings up a question I've had for a long time.  Bash appears
to be the shell that I get when I log in as root or do an su command.
I'm from the old school and perfer vi editing of commands, but I have
yet to be able to make bash use vi as root.  I've set EDITOR and FCEDIT.
I've set editing-mode vi.  I can't seem to get root to use anything
but emacs editing mode.  Is this a diabolical plot by the Linux developers
to force emacs on the world? 8^)

Bash works as expected, described and designed when I'm a normal
user.

Can I do it? How?

Thanks,
Jim.
