This looks like a ToolTalk error.  What editor are you trying to
use?  What's the value of the PSQL_EDITOR or EDITOR or VISUAL
environment variable?  Have you googled for this error message to
see what might cause it and how to fix it?

In Solaris 10 with Postgres 8.0, I am getting only for " EDITOR".

bash-2.05b$ echo $EDITOR
/usr/dt/bin/dtpad

bash-2.05b$ echo $VISUAL
bash-2.05b$

bash-2.05b$ echo $PSQL_EDITOR
bash-2.05b$

Thanks
