This is fabulous. With two you get egg-roll, but with

THANKS ALL for the spirited response to my sudo brief
psychotic episode.
The package visudo not being installed on this system, su, then
a permission change, permitted me to remove that darned space
between '%' and 'sudo' on that line in /etc/sudoers with good
old jed. After restoring the original permission and exiting su,
I have sudo working as expected in and out of mc.
sudoedit refused even to launch after I began to monkey with
various editors. It is now back at work if I need it.
