How to set up editor path in sage?

I've searched everywhere and I couldn't find an answer.

I have read this in sage tutorial:

You can use %edit (or %ed or ed) to open an editor, if you want to type in some complex code. Before you start Sage, make sure that the EDITOR environment variable is set to your favorite editor (by putting export EDITOR=/usr/bin/emacs or export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim or something similar in the appropriate place, like a .profile file).

I'm not that familiar with linux. What would that appropriate place be? I didn't find any .profile file in sage folder.

Thanks.

edit: I'm using ubuntu 10.04 if that is of any help.

Put it into ".bashrc" in your home-directory. If ".bashrc" doesn't exist, create a new one. After editing ".bashrc", you must read it contents still into the actual shell. I.e. either restart it or "source ~/.bashrc"
