I'm online, typed "chfn" to change Finger info, and I don't understand the
editor!

        Stuck in "chfn" HELL! I need to get out without saving changes... I
also need to know what editor is being used so I can "man" it to find out
how to use it properly...

HELP... Post or e-mail me at gtennan@io.org! My Sysops are not in on the
weekend!
