How.Where Do I Start

[[email protected]]

I have installed and uninstalled this several times and I did not see where I could select an editor.  If an editor is needed to make LD work, why isn't it one of the defaults?  I'm going to uninstall again and go back to the trial and error method that has worked for me in the past.   If getting started is this much of a problem, I have to ask myself what kind of a nightmare is LD going to be?
