sbopkg uses whatever you have set the environmental variable $EDITOR to, 
and will fall back to 'vi' if $EDITOR has not been set.  So, to test, I 
set root's EDITOR to nano also and it seemed to work fine.  I could edit 
SlackBuilds and the little menu at the bottom was there.

Are you doing this as root or regular user?  What is the output of 'echo 
$EDITOR' for the user running sbopkg?

I have not tested this on Slackintosh, but I don't see how that could 
affect things.

Thanks-
Chess
