that's 'ed' you are running there. If you don't much like it (can't say I blame you), try setting the EDITOR environment variable to your favourite editor.

In my case, that would be:
Code:
EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR
crontab -e

Oh and btw, to quit out of ed, the command is 'q' (no ':' symbol in front)
