It was working at one time, ?recent? changes to evo have functionally
broken it.  My understanding of the way it worked was -> invocation
caused startup of $EDITOR, evo waited on $EDITOR to close, evo parsed
tmp file written by $EDITOR and populated composer window appropriately.
Currently, evo invocation of $EDITOR does not appear to wait for $EDITOR
to close.
