Both of these will execute "/usr/bin/nano". But if you want the input/output to
be intercepted and sent to the remote user, you'll need use either bbs.exec()
with the EX_INR and EX_OUTR flags set (for input and output redirection), like
so:
bbs.exec("/usr/bin/nano", EX_NATIVE|EX_INR|EX_OUTR);
But the best way to run an external editor is to configure it as an external
editor (in SCFG) and run it from JS with console.editfile(filename);
