Also, note from the man page:

 if an environment variable LESSEDIT is defined, it is used as  the
command  to  be executed when the v command is invoked.  The LESSEDIT
string is expanded in the same way as the prompt strings.  The default
value for LESSEDIT is:

            %E ?lm+%lm. %f

       Note  that  this  expands  to  the  editor name, followed by a +
and the line number, followed by the file name.  If your editor does not
accept the "+linenumber" syntax, or has other differences in invocation
syntax, the LESSEDIT variable can be changed to modify this default.
