Re: sdiff: subsidiary program 'emacsclient -c -nw' not found

Neither POSIX-2008 nor any other standard I know doesn’t specify what
EDITOR should contain.

to 'foo'.
That’s a hacky solution. And Occam doesn’t like it. I have to drag ‘~/bin’
folder or something like that for root just because stupid programs don’t
recognize programs and programs with keys. What will it lead to then?
Second variable in environment that can contain $EDITOR with keys?

Thanks for the reply, anyway.
