Hi Julio,

The :edit command isn't really supported on the MacOS 9 
version.  However, we certainly don't want the interpreter to 
crash if the user still tries to enter an editor string.  I've 
located the bug that causes this problem, and the fix will be 
included in the upcoming release.

Thanks for reporting the preoblem.
