path and editor

["Mike Egglestone" <Mike_Egglestone@fc.schdist57.bc.ca>]

HI...
I've been looking all over the web for these 2 simple answers and can't
find them....

first....what the heck is the command that lets me see what my command
path is.....?

I know in unix... you type something like:
echo $path

basically... the identical command to 
path   from the dos OS...

I guess I could just less /etc/profile....but there must be 
something else......

and secondly....
How would one change the default editor ?
I looked in the /etc/profile  again... and found no reference to EDITOR....
so I'm wondering if its configured somewhere else....

Thanks for your time and help

Mike
