I don't either — I use the jstar "flavor" of joe (Joe's Own Editor).
Somehow I figured out the following line (which works for me).
set editor_command "jstar +%d '%s'"
At this point I don't know what "+%d" and "'%s'" do — I would have to look
it up again. I don't have to worry about the 72 character line, as jstar
just brings in its own settings from its own .jstarc configuration file. I
don't know right now where the cursor goes when I do a follow up — I'll have
to check that out and report back. Wherever it ends up I'm used to what it
does.
Sorry I can't be any more help. I've tried nano but could never get "into
it."
