       Brief  editors.	Extensible in a language resembling C. Completely cus‐
       tomizable.  Editing TeX files with AUC-TeX style editing	 (BiBTeX  sup‐
       port too).  Folding support, and much more...

       For  complete  documentation, see GNU info files, this manual only pro‐
       vides brief tutorial.

OPTIONS
   major options
       --version
	      prints the version and compiletime variables.
       --help
	      prints usage information.
       --secure
	      runs Jed in secure mode, e.g. you can't run  any	external  com‐
	      mands with system() or run_shell_cmd().
       --batch
	      run Jed in batch mode.  This is a non-interactive mode.
       --script
	      this  is	a  mode like --batch but jed does not eval the startup
	      files. It behaves like slsh.  You must give the file that should
	      be  evaluated  as	 second	 argument.  It's  the  same as calling
	      jed-script.

   minor options
       -n
	      do not load .jedrc file.
       -a 'file'
	      load file as user configuration file instead of .jedrc.
       + 'n'
	      goto line n in buffer (notice that in order to  this  option  to
	      take  effect, if must appear before the file name in the command
	      line, like 'jed +3 file')
       -g 'n'
	      goto line n in buffer (notice that in order to  this  option  to
	      take  effect,  if must appear after the file name in the command
	      line, like 'jed file -g 3')
       -l 'file'
	      load file as S-Lang code.
       -f 'function'
	      execute S-Lang function named function
       -s 'string'
	      search forward for string
       -2
	      split window
       -i 'file'
	      insert file into current buffer.

   X options
       xjed accapts the common options like -display, -name, -fn  and  -geome‐
       try.  Additionaly it accepts

       -facesize SIZE, -fs SIZE
	      if  build	 with XRENDERFONT support, selects the font size SIZE.
	      Use it with the option -fn to select a scalable font.
       -foreground COLOR, -fg COLOR
	      sets the foreground color.
       -background COLOR, -bg COLOR
	      sets the background color.
       -fgMouse COLOR, -mfg COLOR
	      sets the foreground color of the mouse pointer.
       -bgMouse COLOR, -mbg COLOR
	      sets the background color of the mouse pointer.
       -Iconic, -ic
	      start iconified.
       -title NAME
	      sets the window title to NAME.

       For more options look at xterm.c.

CONFIGURATION
	      Emulating Other Editors

       JED's ability to create new functions using the S-Lang programming lan‐
       guage  as  well	as allowing the user to choose key bindings, makes the
       emulation of other editors possible. Currently, JED provides reasonable
       emulation of the Emacs, EDT, and Wordstar editors.

	      Emacs Emulation

       Emacs  Emulation is provided by the S-Lang code in emacs.sl.  The basic
       functionality of Emacs is emulated; most Emacs  users  should  have  no
       problem with JED.  To enable Emacs emulation in JED, make sure that the
       line:

	      () = evalfile ("emacs");

       is in your jed.rc (.jedrc) startup file.	 JED is distributed with  this
       line already present in the default jed.rc file.

	      EDT Emulation

       For  EDT	 emulation,  edt.sl  must  be loaded.  This is accomplished by
       ensuring that the line:

	      () = evalfile ("edt");

       is in present in the jed.rc (.jedrc) Startup File.

	      Wordstar Emulation

       wordstar.sl contains the S-Lang	code  for  JED's  Wordstar  emulation.
       Adding the line

	      () = evalfile ("wordstar");

       to  your jed.rc (.jedrc) startup file will enable JED's Wordstar emula‐
       tion.

RUN TIME
	      Status line and Windows

       JED supports multiple windows.  Each window may contain the same buffer
       or  different  buffers.	 A  status line is displayed immediately below
       each window.  The status line contains information such as the JED ver‐
       sion  number, the buffer name, mode, etc.  Please beware of the follow‐
       ing indicators:

       **
	      buffer has been modified since last save.
       %%
	      buffer is read only.
       m
	      Mark set indicator.  This means a region is being defined.
       d
	      File changed on disk indicator.  This indicates  that  the  file
	      associated with the buffer is newer than the buffer itself.
       s
	      spot pushed indicator.
       +
	      Undo is enabled for the buffer.
       [Narrow]
	      Buffer is narrowed to a region of LINES.
       [Macro]
	      A macro is being defined.

	      Mini-Buffer.

       The  Mini-Buffer consists of a single line located at the bottom of the
       screen. Much of the dialog between the user and JED takes place in this
       buffer.	For example, when you search for a string, JED will prompt you
       for the string in the Mini-Buffer.

       The Mini-Buffer also provides a direct link to the S-Lang  interpreter.
       To access the interpreter, press Ctrl-X Esc and the S-Lang> prompt will
       appear in the Mini-Buffer.  Enter any valid S-Lang expression for eval‐
       uation by the interpreter.

       It  is  possible to recall data previously entered into the Mini-Buffer
       by using the up and down arrow keys.  This makes it possible to use and
       edit previous expressions in a convenient and efficient manner.

	      Basic Editing

       Editing	with  JED is pretty easy - most keys simply insert themselves.
       Movement around the buffer is usually done using the arrow keys or page
       up  and page down keys.	If edt.sl is loaded, the keypads on VTxxx ter‐
       minals function as well.	 Here, only the highlights  are	 touched  upon
       (cut/paste operations are not considered `highlights').	In the follow‐
       ing, any character prefixed by the ^ character denotes a Control	 char‐
       acter.  On  keyboards  without an explicit Escape key, Ctrl-[ will most
       likely generate and Escape character.

       A prefix argument to a command may be generated by  first  hitting  the
       Esc key, then entering the number followed by pressing the desired key.
       Normally, the prefix argument is used simply for repetition.  For exam‐
       ple,  to	 move to the right 40 characters, one would press Esc 4 0 fol‐
       lowed immediately by the right arrow key.  This illustrates the use  of
       the  repeat  argument for repetition.  However, the prefix argument may
       be used in other ways as	 well.	 For  example,	to  begin  defining  a
       region,	one would press the Ctrl-@ key.	 This sets the mark and begins
       highlighting.  Pressing the Ctrl-@ key  with  a	prefix	argument  will
       abort the act of defining the region and to pop the mark.

       The following list of useful keybindings assumes that emacs.sl has been
       loaded.

       Ctrl-L
	      Redraw screen.
       Ctrl-_

	      justify the paragraph as well.
