This is because $EDITOR isn't set. Then you will basically
try to execute the file /tmp/@9273.0txt, and its execution
flag isn't set. (Wouldn't do much good anyay...)

As I wrote in the code, $EDITOR must be set, or you have to
use one of the commented out variants.

Either run
$ export EDITOR=3Dvi
(assuming that you use bash)

or change the source to

data =3D edit(data, editor=3D'vi')

(or joe, or xemacs or whatever editor you prefer)
