Hello,

The "more" pager is included in util-linux:

$ cygcheck -f $(which more) $(which ncftp)
ncftp-3.2.1-1
util-linux-2.17.2-1

To configure the EDITOR enviroment variable, do as the message says:

$ EDITOR=3D"/usr/bin/vi" ; export EDITOR

or, simply:

$ export EDITOR=3D"/usr/bin/vi"

You can also set it in your shell startup file at=20
${HOME}/.bashrc if you are using bash.

Regarding the last question, my advice would be to use an editor that
can be launched within the shell (vi, nano, ed, ...), but you could try to=
=20
export EDITOR=3D"/cygdrive/c/Program Files/path/to/editor", for example, an=
d=20
see what happens. You probably won't go back to ncftp after editing the
file, but I haven't actually checked that.
