yes, 'nano ~/.bashrc' and add the 'export EDITOR=nano' line.  then 
execute 'source ~/.bashrc'
to update your current shell to reflect the new changes.  This shell 
and all new shells you
open will now have the EDITOR environment variable set (test it with 
'echo $EDITOR').  Many
programs will honor this and use nano (like vipw and visudo - just 
because they explicitly
reference using vi, they will still work with whichever $EDITOR you 
specify).
	Now just run visudo as root and add the line that I suggested way back 
before we took this
informative tangent.
