The systems can be named A and B. Both have xdm and LXDE. I am working
in LXTerminal on A and telneting to B through an OpenVPN tunnel. EDITOR
is not set on A but is vi on B.

These systems have .bashrc and .profile. Neither has .bash_profile and I
don't recall deleting it.

OK; rather than spend more time on it, I'll tolerate nano for the incrontab
editor.
