I have a script called doEdit which handles working with Emacs as a
server, starting it as needed.

/usr/bin/editor eventually (via four symbolic links round the
alternatives houses) points at /usr/bin/emacs22-gtk which is definitely
executable.

BZR_EDITOR and VISUAL are empty for me, but EDITOR is doEdit and doEdit
is on the path:

The weird thing is that putting doEdit in the editor field gets things
working so Explorer appears to be using the users PATH.

I think we need Ian's input :-)
