Reading Appendix D of the manual (2.8), it seems the default editor for point
and click indeed CAN be changed, but the manual is -- to me, at least --
completely unclear on how to do so. It is, at least, clear to me that no
fiddling with OS X (e.g. the Get Info advice I gave earlier) will accomplish
what you want. There's some kind of environment variable that must be changed,
and it looks like once you have done that you are in tall cotton.
