crontab: no changes made

Hi,
When I start "crontab -e" it won't run, because I haven't vi
installed. I remembered reading something about an EDITOR or VISIBLE
environment variable, though I couldn't find it any more. Thus I set
export EDITOR=emacs
Then crontabs starts up emacs, editing a temporary file (i.e.
/tmp/cron.1900)
However, when I close emacs (with or without saveing changes to the
tmp file) crontab displays "crontab: no changes made to crontab".
Where's the flaw?
Thanks
Uwe
