Using TIN, how can I specify the edit command to be used?  I need to
make sure that one of two things happen:
	1) my alias for vi is used instead of an absolute path to 
	/usr/ucb/vi
	OR
	2) I can supply my own startup string directly.  I need
	for the startup string to contain an environment variable,
	as in:
		vi -c "$VI_ARGS"

Any hints appreciated.
