Description
Right now I'm at work and `Sys.getenv('EDITOR')` is returning "" in my session because the environment variable doesn't exist in Windows (at home I have Linux), this causes the command in `makeSysCmd()` return 127.
We should have this issue open to be aware that we need to adapt openShellEditor() for OS Win at some point, since is the most used OS.
Consider also the idea of using direct calls to `file.edit()` as a substitute for `openShellEditor()`, since it uses `getOption('editor')` to find out the default editor of the system.
