Setting the value for the EDITOR variable

[Xristos Karvouneas]

Dear All,
 
I would like to be able to do that from the cnf file, as I want to have a different editor
for MySQL commands than the one I use when writing shell scripts. When I put the following
in the .my.cnf file,
[shell]
EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/pico
export EDITOR
 
I get no error messages when mysql starts up, but the value of the EDITOR variable does
not change.
 
Is there any way I can achieve that from the cnf file?
 
Thanks,
Xristos
