DESCRIPTION
       Jed - programmers editor

       Features:

       Color syntax highlighting.  Emulation of Emacs, EDT, Wordstar, and Brief editors.  Extensible
       in a language resembling C. Completely customizable.  Editing TeX files  with  AUC-TeX  style
       editing (BiBTeX support too).  Folding support, and much more...

       For complete documentation, see GNU info files, this manual only provides 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 commands 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.
       -e
              Set emulation mode. The default in Debian is 'emacs'. Other valid  options  are  'vi',
              'cua', 'ide'.
       + 'n'
              goto line n in buffer (notice that in order to this option to take effect, if must ap‐
              pear 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 ap‐
              pear 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 accepts the common options like -display, -name, -fn and -geometry.  Additionally it ac‐
       cepts

       -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 language as well as allow‐
       ing the user to choose key bindings, makes the emulation  of  other  editors  possible.  Cur‐
       rently, 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 emulation.

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 informa‐
       tion such as the JED version number, the buffer name, mode, etc.  Please beware of  the  fol‐
       lowing 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 buf‐
              fer 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  inter‐
       preter,  press  Ctrl-X  Esc and the S-Lang> prompt will appear in the Mini-Buffer.  Enter any
       valid S-Lang expression for evaluation 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 terminals function as  well.   Here,  only  the  highlights  are
       touched  upon  (cut/paste operations are not considered `highlights').  In the following, any
       character prefixed by the ^ character denotes a Control character. 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  sim‐
       ply for repetition.  For example, to move to the right 40 characters, one would press Esc 4 0
       followed 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 exam‐
       ple, to begin defining a region, one would press the Ctrl-@ key.  This sets the mark and  be‐
       gins  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.

              graph as well.

FILES
       JED_ROOT/lib/*.sl
              these  are the default runtime jed slang files (packages like jed-extra can define ad‐
              ditional slang library directories)
       JED_ROOT/lib/site.sl
              This is the default startup file.
       /etc/jed.d/*.sl
              The system wide configuration files (this is a special Debian feature).
       ~/.jedrc
              Per user configuration file, or
       ~/.jed/jed.rc
              per user configuration file if the Jed_Home_Directory ~/.jed/ exists.
