Could you try something for me, please?

I'm attaching a small program that runs your editor, and then asks you
to hit return to continue.

Could you:
1. edit the file so that the editor= line has ultraedit in it instead
   of gvim
2. compile it, say ghc runAndWait.hs -o runAndWait
3. set DARCS_EDITOR to runAndWait

What I expect to happen is that, now, darcs waits for you to press
enter, and that in the meantime, you can edit your log in peace.  I just
wanted to see if this is similar to the stuff we do when running an
external diff/merge program.

Thanks,

P.S. if you feel Haskell is overkill for this, of course, write a 
     batch file or something :-)
