[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40600] edit: changing EDITOR after first call to edit() has no effect

[Torsten]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #40600 (project octave):

I can confirm this behavior. The initialization of the field EDITOR in edit is
done within a persistent declaration and only is evaluated the first time edit
is called. 

If edit should take the value from EDITOR() each time edit is called then a
value set by "edit EDTIOR some_editor" should also evaluate "EDITOR
(some_editor)". Otherwise a customized EDITOR field in edit would be
overwritten within the next edit call. If this is desired I could change
edit.m in that way.
