If you set the EDITOR environment variable to something, that will be used
instead of vim. I personally use jed, but any editor will do.
--------
export EDITOR=jed
cvs commit

Is the syntax if you use bash, other shells may differ. It may also be a
good idea to set the EDITOR variable in the logon scripts (.bashrc)
