                "content": "JOE is a powerful console screen editor. It has a \"mode-less\" user interface which is similar\nto many user-friendly PC editors. Users of Micro-Pro´s WordStar  or  Borland´s  \"Turbo\"  lan‐\nguages will feel at home. JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many fea‐\ntures for editing programs and text.\n\nJOE also emulates several other editors. JSTAR is a close imitation  of  WordStar  with  many\n\"JOE\"  extensions.  JPICO  is a close imitation of the Pine mailing system´s PICO editor, but\nwith many extensions and improvements. JMACS is a GNU-EMACS imitation. RJOE is  a  restricted\nversion of JOE, which allows you to edit only the files specified on the command line.\n\nAlthough  JOE  is actually five different editors, it still requires only one executable, but\none with five different names. The name of the editor with an \"rc\" appended gives the name of\nJOE´s initialization file, which determines the personality of the editor.\n\nJOE  is free software; you can distribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Gen‐\neral Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. JOE is available  over  the\nInternet from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor.\n",

            "Usage": {
                "content": "To  start the editor, type joe followed by zero or more names of files you want to edit. Each\nfile name may be preceded by a local option setting (see the local options table  which  fol‐\nlows).  Other global options, which apply to the editor as a whole, may also be placed on the\ncommand line (see the global options table which follows). If you are editing a new file, you\ncan  either  give  the name of the new file when you invoke the editor, or in the editor when\nyou save the new file. A modified syntax for file names is provided to allow you to edit pro‐\ngram  output,  standard  input/output, or sections of files or devices. See the section File‐\nnames below for details.\n\nOnce you are in the editor, you can type in text and use special control-character  sequences\nto  perform  other  editing tasks. To find out what the control-character sequences are, read\nthe rest of this man page or type ^K H for help in the editor.\n\nNow for some obscure computer-lore:\n\nThe ^ means that you hold down the Control key while pressing the following key (the same way\nthe  Shift key works for uppercase letters). A number of control-key sequences are duplicated\non other keys, so that you don´t need to press the control key: Esc will work in place of ^[,\nDel  will  work in place of ^?, Backspace will work in place of ^H, Tab will work in place of\n^I, Return or Enter will work in place of ^M and Linefeed will work in place of ^J. Some key‐\nboards  may  give  you  trouble  with some control keys. ^, ^^ and ^@ can usually be entered\nwithout pressing shift (i.e., try ^-, ^6 and ^2). Other keyboards may reassign these to other\nkeys.  Try:  ^.,  ^,  and ^/. ^Space can usually be used in place of ^@. ^\\ and ^] are inter‐\npreted by many communication programs, including telnet and kermit. Usually you just hit  the\nkey twice to get it to pass through the communication program.\n\nOn  some keyboards, holding the Alt key down while pressing another key is the same as typing\nEsc before typing the other key.\n\nOnce you have typed ^K H, the first help window appears at the top of  the  screen.  You  can\ncontinue  to  enter  and edit text while the help window is on. To page through other topics,\nhit Esc , and Esc . (that is, Esc , and Esc .). Use ^K H to dismiss the help window.\n\nYou can customize the keyboard layout, the help screens and a number of behavior defaults  by\ncopying  JOE´s  initialization file (usually /etc/joe/joerc) to .joerc in your home directory\nand then by modifying it. See the section joerc below.\n\nTo have JOE used as your default editor for e-mail and News, you need to set the  EDITOR  and\nVISUAL  environment variables in your shell initialization file (.cshrc or .profile) to refer\nto JOE (JOE usually resides as /usr/bin/joe).\n\nThere are a number of other obscure invocation parameters which may have to be set,  particu‐\nlarly  if  your terminal screen is not updating as you think it should. See the section Envi‐\nronment variables below.\n",

If this is  unset  (the\ndefault) backup files are stored in the directory containing the file.\n\n\n•   baud nnn\nSet  the  baud rate for the purposes of terminal screen optimization (overrides value re‐\nported by stty). JOE inserts delays for  baud  rates  below  19200,  which  bypasses  tty\nbuffering so that typeahead will interrupt the screen output. Scrolling commands will not\nbe used for 38400 baud and above. This is useful for X-terms and other console ttys which\nreally aren´t going over a serial line.\n\n\n•   beep\nEnable  beeps when edit commands return errors, for example when the cursor goes past ex‐\ntremes.\n\n\n•   breaklinks\nWhen enabled, JOE first deletes the file before writing it in order to  break  hard-links\nand symbolic-links.\n\n\n•   breakhardlinks\nWhen  enabled,  and  the  file is not a symbolic links, JOE first deletes the file before\nwriting it in order to break hard-links.\n\n\n•   brpaste\nWhen JOE starts, send command to the terminal  emulator  that  enables  \"bracketed  paste\nmode\"  (but  only if the terminal seems to have the ANSI command set). In this mode, text\npasted into the window is bracketed with ESC [ 2 0 0 ~ and ESC [ 2 0 1 ~.\n\n\n•   columns nnn\nSet number of columns in terminal emulator (in case termcap entry is wrong). This is only\nuseful on old system which don´t have the \"get window size\" ioctl.\n\n\n•   csmode\nEnable  continued  search  mode:  Successive  ^K  Fs repeat the current search instead of\nprompting for a new one.\n\n\n•   dopadding\nEnable JOE to send padding NULs to the terminal (for very old terminals).\n\n\n•   exask\nWhen set, ^K X prompts for a new name before saving the file.\n\n\n•   floatmouse\nWhen set, mouse clicks can position the cursor beyond the ends of lines.\n\n\n•   guesscrlf\nWhen set, JOE tries to guess the file format MS-DOS or UNIX.\n\n\n•   guessindent\nWhen set, JOE tries to guess the indentation character and indentation step based on  the\ncontents  of  the  file. The algorithm is to find the greatest common factor of the three\nmost common indentations found in the file.\n\n\n•   guessnonutf8\nWhen set, enable guessing of non-UTF-8 files in UTF-8 locales.\n\n\n•   guessutf8\nWhen set, enable guessing of UTF-8 files in non-UTF-8 locales.\n\n\n•   guessutf16\nWhen set, enable guessing of UTF-16 files. If a UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE file is detected, it\nis converted to UTF-8 during load, and converted back to UTF-16 during save.\n\n\n•   helpon\nWhen set, start off with the on-line help enabled.\n\n\n•   helpisutf8\nWhen set, the help text in the joerc file is assumed to be UTF-8.\n\n\n•   icase\nSearch is case insensitive by default when set.\n\n\n•   joestate\nEnable reading and writing of ~/.joestate file\n\n\n•   joexterm\nSet this if xterm was configured with --paste64 option for better mouse support.\n\n\n•   keepup\nThe column number on the status line is updated constantly when this is set, otherwise it\nis updated only once a second.\n\n\n•   language language\nSets language for aspell.\n\n\n•   lightoff\nAutomatically turn off ^K B ^K K highlighting after a block operation.\n\n\n•   lines nnn\nSet number of lines in terminal emulator (in case termcap entry is wrong). This  is  only\nuseful on old system which don´t have the \"get window size\" ioctl.\n\n\n•   marking\nEnable marking mode: highlights between ^K B and cursor.\n\n\n•   menuabove\nPut menus above prompt instead of below them.\n\n\n•   menuexplorer\nStay  in  menu when a directory is selected (otherwise the directory is added to the path\nand the cursor jumps back to the prompt).\n\n\n•   menujump\nJump into the file selection menu when Tab Tab is hit.\n\n\n•   mid\nIf this option is set and the cursor moves off the window, the window will be scrolled so\nthat  the  cursor  is  in the center. This option is forced on slow terminals which don´t\nhave scrolling commands.\n\n\n•   left nn\nThis sets the number of columns the screen scrolls to the left when cursor moves past the\nleft edge or when the crawll command is issued. If nn is negative, then it´s the fraction\nof the screen to scroll. For example, -2 means scroll 1/2 the screen.\n\n\n•   right nn\nThis sets the number of columns the screen scrolls to the right when  cursor  moves  past\nthe  right  edge  or  when the crawlr command is issued.

This is the  normal\noperating  mode  of the editor. If you want to replace some existing text, you have to delete\nthe old text before or after you type in the replacement text. The Backspace key can be  used\nfor  deleting  text:  move  the  cursor  to  right  after the text you want to delete and hit\nBackspace a number of times.\n\nHit the Enter or Return key to insert a line-break. For example, if the  cursor  was  in  the\nmiddle  of  a  line and you hit Enter, the line would be split into two lines with the cursor\nappearing at the beginning of the second line. Hit Backspace at the beginning of  a  line  to\neliminate a line-break.\n\nUse  the  arrow keys to move around the file. If your keyboard doesn´t have arrow keys (or if\nthey don´t work for some reason), use ^F to move  forwards  (right),  ^B  to  move  backwards\n(left),  ^P  to  move  to the previous line (up), and ^N to move to the next line (down). The\nright and left arrow keys simply move forwards or backwards one character at a  time  through\nthe  text:  if you´re at the beginning of a line and you press left-arrow, you will end up at\nthe end of the previous line. The up and down arrow  keys  move  forwards  and  backwards  by\nenough  characters so that the cursor appears in the same column that it was in on the origi‐\nnal line.\n\nIf you want to indent the text you enter, you can use the Tab key.  This  inserts  a  special\ncontrol  character which makes the characters which follow it begin at the next tab stop. Tab\nstops normally occur every 8 columns, but this can be changed with the ^T D  command.  PASCAL\nand C programmers often set tab stops on every 4 columns.\n\nIf  for  some  reason your terminal screen gets messed up (for example, if you receive a mail\nnotice from biff), you can have the editor refresh the screen by hitting ^R.\n\nThere are many other keys for deleting text and moving around the file. For example,  hit  ^D\nto  delete  the  character  the cursor is on instead of deleting backwards like Backspace. ^D\nwill also delete a line-break if the cursor is at the end of a line. Type ^Y  to  delete  the\nentire line the cursor is on or ^J to delete just from the cursor to the end of the line.\n\nHit  ^A to move the cursor to the beginning of the line it´s on. Hit ^E to move the cursor to\nthe end of the line. Hit ^U or ^V for scrolling the cursor up or down 1/2 a screen´s worth.\n\"Scrolling\" means that the text on the screen moves, but the cursor stays at the  same  place\nrelative  to  the  screen. Hit ^K U or ^K V to move the cursor to the beginning or the end of\nthe file. Look at the help screens in the editor to find even more delete and  movement  com‐\nmands.\n\nIf  you make a mistake, you can hit ^ to \"undo\" it. On most keyboards you hit just ^- to get\n^, but on some you might have to hold both the Shift and Control keys down at the same  time\nto  get it. If you \"undo\" too much, you can \"redo\" the changes back into existence by hitting\n^^ (type this with just ^6 on most keyboards).\n"

If you type past the right edge of the screen in  a\nnormal  file  (one  whose  name doesn´t end in .c, .h or .p), JOE will automatically wrap the\nlast word onto the next line so that you don´t have to hit Enter. This  is  called  word-wrap\nmode.  Word-wrap  can be turned on or off with the ^T W command. JOE´s initialization file is\nusually set up so that this mode is automatically turned on for all  non-program  files.  See\nthe section below on the joerc file to change this and other defaults.\n\nAside  for  Word-wrap  mode,  JOE  does not automatically keep paragraphs formatted like some\nword-processors. Instead, if you need a paragraph to be reformatted, hit ^K J.  This  command\n\"fills  in\" the paragraph that the cursor is in, fitting as many words in a line as is possi‐\nble. A paragraph, in this case, is a block of text separated above and below by a blank line.\n\nThe margins which JOE uses for paragraph formatting and word-wrap can be set with  the  ^T  L\nand  ^T  R  commands.  If the left margin is set to a value other than 1, then when you start\ntyping at the beginning of a line, the cursor will immediately jump to the left margin.\n\nThere are a number of options which control the paragraph reformatter and word wrapper:\n\n•   The cpara option provides a list of characters which can indent a paragraph. For example,\nin  e-mail  quoted  matter is indicated by > at the beginnings of line, so this character\nshould be in the cpara list.\n\n•   The cnotpara option provides a list of characters which, if they are the first non-white‐\nspace  character  of  a  line,  indicate that the line is not to be included as part of a\nparagraph for formatting. For example, lines beginning with ´.´ in nroff can not be para‐\ngraph lines.\n\n•   Autoindent  mode  affects  the  formatter. If autoindent is disabled, only the first line\nwill be indented. If autoindent is enabled, the entire paragraph is indented.\n\n•   french determines how many spaces are inserted after periods.\n\n•   When flowed is enabled, a space is inserted after each but the last  line  of  the  para‐\ngraph.  This  indicates that the lines belong together as a single paragraph in some pro‐\ngrams.\n\n•   When overtype is enabled, the word wrapper will not insert lines.\n\n\n"

The numbers outside of this range, from 0 to 255, aren´t usually dis‐\nplayed, but sometimes have other special meanings. The number 10, for example,  is  used  for\nthe  line-breaks. You can enter these special, non-displayed control characters by first hit‐\nting ^Q and then hitting a character in the range @ A B C ... X Y Z [ ^ ] \\  to get the num‐\nber  0 - 31, and ? to get 127. For example, if you hit ^Q J, you´ll insert a line-break char‐\nacter, or if you hit ^Q I, you´ll insert a Tab character (which does the same thing  the  Tab\nkey  does).  A  useful control character to enter is 12 (^Q L), which causes most printers to\nadvance to the top of the page. You´ll notice that JOE displays this character as  an  under‐\nlined  L.  You  can enter the characters above 127, the meta characters, by first hitting ^\\.\nThis adds 128 to the next (possibly control) character entered. JOE displays characters above\n128  in  inverse-video. Some foreign languages, which have more letters than English, use the\nmeta characters for the rest of their alphabet.

JOE will translate between  the  two.\nCurrently, one of the two must be UTF-8 for translation to work.\n\nThe  character set for the terminal and the default character set assumed for files is deter‐\nmined by the ´LCALL´ environment variable (and if that´s not set, LCCTYPE and LANG are also\nchecked).\n\nFor example, if LCALL is set to:\n\n\n\ndeDE\n\n\n\nThen the character set will be ISO-8859-1.\n\nIf LCALL is set to:\n\n\n\ndeDE.UTF-8\n\n\n\nThe character set will be UTF-8.\n\nHit  ^T  E  to  change  the  coding for the file. Hit Tab Tab at this prompt to get a list of\navailable codings. There are a number of built-in character sets, plus you can install  char‐\nacter sets in the ~/.joe/charmaps and /usr/share/joe/charmaps directories.\n\nCheck: /usr/share/i18n/charmaps for example character set files. Only byte oriented character\nsets will work. Also,  the  file  should  not  be  gzipped  (all  of  the  charmap  files  in\n/usr/share/i18n/charmaps  on  my  computer were compressed). The parser is very bad, so basi‐\ncally the file has to look exactly like the example one in /usr/share/joe/charmaps.\n\nYou can hit ^K Space to see the current character set.\n\nYou can hit ^Q x to enter a Unicode character if the file coding is UTF-8.\n"

For example, if \\[Tt]his\nis  entered as the search string, then JOE finds both This and this. Ranges of characters can\nbe entered within the brackets. For example, \\[A-Z] finds any uppercase letter. If the  first\ncharacter  given  in the brackets is ^, then JOE tries to find any character not given in the\nthe brackets. To include - itself, include it as the last or first character (possibly  after\n^).\n\n•   \\\\\n\n\n\n\nMatches a single \\.\n\n•   \\n\n\n\n\n\nThis finds the special end-of-line or line-break character.\n\nA number of special character sequences may also be given in the replacement string:\n\n•   \\&\n\n\n\n\nThis  gets  replaced  by the text which matched the search string.

For example, if indenta‐\ntion  uses  a mix of tabs and spaces, and indentc is space, then indentation will be con‐\nverted to all spaces before the shifting operation.\n\n\n•   guessindent\nWhen set, JOE tries to guess the indentation character and indentation step based on  the\ncontents  of  the  file. The algorithm is to find the greatest common factor of the three\nmost common indentations found in the file.\n\n\n\n"

If a negative argument  is  given  for  a\ncommand which does not have an opposite, the repeat argument is ignored.\n\nNormally,  if  a  repeat  argument is specified for a macro, the macro is simply repeated the\ngiven number of times. If a negative argument is given, the argument is ignored.\n\nSometimes you want to allow negative arguments for macros and have their  behavior  modified.\nTo  do  this,  postfix each command within the macro which should be switched to its opposite\nfor negative arguments with ´-´. For example, here is the page down other window macro:\n\n\n\nprevw,pgdn-!,nextw\n\n\n\nNow if you execute this with an argument of -2, it will be repeated twice, but pgup  will  be\nexecuted  instead of pgdn. (note that several postfix modifiers can be placed after each com‐\nmand).\n\nSometimes when a repeat argument is given to macro, you want only one of the commands in  the\nlist to be repeated, not the entire macro. This can be indicated as follows:\n\n\n\nprevw,pgdn#!,nextw\n\n\n\nIf  this  is  executed with an argument of 2, prevw is executed once, pgdn is executed twice,\nand nextw is executed once.\n\nFinally, even more complex semantics can be expressed with the \"if\" command:\n\n\n\nif~,\"arg<0\",then,\nltarw,\nelse,\nrtarw,\nendif\n\n\n\nWhen the macro is executed, the \"arg\" math variable is set to the given repeat argument.

It means you can easily step through bash\nhistory with the arrow keys, or abort programs the normal way with Ctrl-C.\n\nOn the other hand, loss of Ctrl-C means it´s less obvious how to close the window. One way is\nto  move the cursor off of the shell data entry point (with Ctrl-P), and then hit Ctrl-C. An‐\nother is to hit ^K Q. Finally, you can type ´pop´ at the command prompt.\n\nIf you need to pass a key to the shell that JOE normally uses, quote it. For example, if  you\ninvoke \"emacs -nw\" in the shell window, you can exit it with:\n\n\n\n^Q ^X ^C\n\n\n\nTo quickly position the cursor back to the point where data is entered into the shell, hit ^K\nV.\n\nWhen you open a shell window, a JOE-specific  startup-script  is  sourced.  It´s  located  in\n/etc/joe/shell.sh (also /etc/joe/shell.csh). It contains some aliases which allow you to con‐\ntrol JOE with fake shell commands. I have these commands so far:\n\n•   clear\nerase shell window (delete buffer contents)\n\n\n•   joe file\nedit a file in JOE\n\n\n•   math 1+2\nevaluate equation using JOE´s calculator\n\n\n•   cd xyz\nchange directory, keep JOE up to date\n\n\n•   markb\nsame as ^KB\n\n\n•   markk\nsame as ^KK\n\n\n•   mark command\nexecute shell command, mark it´s output\n\n\n•   parse command\nexecute shell command, parse it´s output for file names and line  numbers  (for  find  or\ngrep)\n\n\n•   parser comman\nexecute shell command, parse it´s output for errors (for gcc)\n\n\n•   release\nrelease parsed errors\n\n\n•   pop\ndismiss shell window (same as ^K Q)\n\n\n\n\nThese  work  by  emitting  an  escape  sequence  recognized  by  the terminal emulator: Esc {\njoemacro }. When this is received, the macro is executed. For security, only macros  defined\nin the joerc file which begin with \"shell\" can be executed this way.\n"

(This is the \"assembly language\" of syntax highlighting.  A  separate\nprogram  could in principal be used to convert a regular expression NFA syntax into this for‐\nmat).\n\nEach state begins with:\n\n\n\n:<name> <color-name> <context>\n\n\n\nname\\ is the state´s name.\n\ncolor-name\\ is the color used for characters eaten by the state (really a symbol for  a  user\ndefinable color).\n\ncontext\\ tells JOE if the current character is part of a comment or a string. This allows JOE\nto skip over comments and strings when matching characters such as parentheses. To  use  this\nfeature,  the highlightercontext option must be applied to the files highlighted by the cor‐\nresponding syntax. To apply the option, add it to ftyperc for those file entries.\n\nThe valid contexts are:\n\n•   comment This character is part of a comment. Example: /* comment */\n\n•   string This character is part of a string. Examples: \"string\" ´c´ ´string´\n\n\n\nThe comment and string delimiters themselves should be marked with the  appropriate  context.\nThe  context is considered to be part of the color, so the recolor=-N and recolormark options\napply the context to previous characters.\n\nThe first state defined is the initial state.\n\nWithin a state, define transitions (jumps) to other states. Each jump has the form:\n\n\n\n<character-list> <target-state-name> [<option>s]\n\n\n\nThere are three ways to specify character-list\\s, either * for any  character  not  otherwise\nspecified,  %  or & to match the character in the delimiter match buffer (% matches the saved\ncharacter exactly, while & matches the opposite character, for example ( will match ) when  &\nis  used) or a literal list of characters within quotes (ranges and escape sequences allowed:\nsee Escape Sequences). When the next character matches any in the list, a jump  to  the  tar‐\nget-state  is  taken and the character is eaten (we advance to the next character of the file\nto be colored).\n\nThe * transition should be the first transition specified in the state.\n\nThere are several options:\n\n•   noeat - Do not eat the character, instead feed it to the next state (this tends  to  make\nthe  states  smaller,  but be careful: you can make infinite loops). ´noeat´ implies ´re‐\ncolor=-1´.\n\n•   recolor=-N - Recolor the past N characters with the color of the target-state. For  exam‐\nple  once /* is recognized as the start of C comment, you want to color the /* with the C\ncomment color with recolor=-2.\n\n•   mark - Mark beginning of a region with current position.\n\n•   markend - Mark end of region.\n\n•   recolormark - Recolor all of the characters in the marked region with the  color  of  the\ntarget-state.  If  markend is not given, all of the characters up to the current position\nare recolored. Note that the marked region can not cross line boundaries and must  be  on\nthe same line as recolormark.\n\n•   buffer - Start copying characters to a string buffer, beginning with this one (it´s OK to\nnot terminate buffering with a matching ´strings´, ´istrings´ or ´hold´ option- the  buf‐\nfer is limited to leading 23 characters).\n\n•   savec - Save character in delimiter match buffer.\n\n•   saves - Copy string buffer to delimiter match buffer.\n\n•   strings  -  A  list of strings follows. If the buffer matches any of the given strings, a\njump to the target-state in the string list is taken instead of the normal jump.\n\n•   istrings - Same as strings, but case is ignored. Note: strings and istrings should be the\nlast option on the line. They cause any options which follow them to be ignored.\n\n•   hold  -  Stop buffering string- a future ´strings´ or ´istrings´ will look at contents of\nbuffer at this point. Useful for distinguishing commands and function calls in some  lan‐\nguages  ´write  7´  is  a  command ´write (´ is a function call- hold lets us stop at the\nspace and delay the string lookup until the ( or 7.\n\n\n\nThe format of the string list is:\n\n\n\n\"string\"   <target-state> [<options>s]\n\"string\"   <target-state> [<options>s]\n\"&\"        <target-state> [<options>s]   # matches contents of delimiter match buffer\ndone\n\n\n\n(all of the options above are allowed except \"strings\", \"istrings\" and \"noeat\". noeat is  al‐\nways implied after a matched string).\n\nWeirdness:  only  states  have colors, not transitions. This means that you sometimes have to\nmake dummy states with\n\n\n\n*    <next-state>    noeat\n\n\n\njust to get a color specification.\n\nDelimiter match buffer is for perl and shell: a regex in perl can be s<..>(...) and in  shell\nyou  can  say:  <<EOS  ....... EOS. The idea is that you capture the first delimiter into the\nmatch buffer (the < or first \"EOS\") and then match it to the second one with \"&\" in a  string\nor character list.\n"

Unfortunately, Xterm does not send any codes when the\ncursor is outside of the Xterm frame itself, so this only works if  the  mouse  is  still\ncontained  within  the  Xterm frame.

This  sequence causes JOE to disable the autoindent, wordwrap and spaces\nmodes for the paste, and restores them when the paste is complete.\n\n•   Even if the terminal emulator does not have this bracketed paste mode, JOE detects pasted\ntext by timing: If text arrives all at once (all in the same buffer), the text is assumed\nto be pasted text and autoindent and wordwrap are temporarily disabled.\n\n\n\nWhen -joexterm is set (and you have ./configured Xterm with --enable-paste64):\n\n•   Cut & paste are properly integrated with X. Text selected with left-click-drag is  avail‐\nable  for pasting into other X windows (even if the selected text is larger than the text\nwindow). Text selected in other X windows can be pasted into JOE with middle-click.

Note that this was broken for terminfo in versions of JOE below 3.4.\n\nWhen it is working, the command: \"joe -assume256color -textcolor bg222\" should have a gray\nbackground.\n"

                        "content": "For  JOE  to  operate  correctly, a number of other environment settings must be correct. The\nthroughput (baud rate) of the connection between the computer and your terminal must  be  set\ncorrectly  for  JOE to update the screen smoothly and allow typeahead to defer the screen up‐\ndate. Use the stty nnn command to set this. You want to set it as close as possible to actual\nthroughput  of  the  connection. For example, if you are connected via a 1200 baud modem, you\nwant to use this value for stty. If you are connected  via  14.4k  modem,  but  the  terminal\nserver  you are connected to connects to the computer a 9600 baud, you want to set your speed\nas 9600 baud. The special baud rate of 38400 or extb is used to  indicate  that  you  have  a\nvery-high speed connection, such as a memory mapped console or an X-window terminal emulator.\nIf you can´t use stty to set the actual throughput (perhaps because of a modem  communicating\nwith  the  computer at a different rate than it´s communicating over the phone line), you can\nput a numeric value in the BAUD environment variable instead (use setenv BAUD 9600 for csh or\nBAUD=9600; export BAUD for sh).\n\nThe  TERM  environment variable must be set to the type of terminal you´re using. If the size\n(number of lines/columns) of your terminal is different from what is reported in the  TERMCAP\nor  TERMINFO entry, you can set this with the stty rows nn cols nn command, or by setting the\nLINES and COLUMNS environment variables. The terminal size is variable on modern systems  and\nis determined by an ioctl, so these parameters often have no effect.\n\nJOE  normally  expects  that flow control between the computer and your terminal to use ^S/^Q\nhandshaking (i.e., if the computer is sending characters too fast  for  your  terminal,  your\nterminal  sends  ^S  to  stop  the  output  and  ^Q  to restart it). If the flow control uses\nout-of-band or hardware handshaking or if your terminal is fast enough to always keep up with\nthe  computer  output and you wish to map ^S/^Q to edit commands, you can set the environment\nvariable NOXON to have JOE attempt to turn off ^S/^Q handshaking. If the  connection  between\nthe  computer  and  your terminal uses no handshaking and your terminal is not fast enough to\nkeep up with the output of the computer, you can set the environment  variable  DOPADDING  to\nhave JOE slow down the output by interspersing PAD characters between the terminal screen up‐\ndate sequences.\n\nHere is a complete list of the environment variables:\n\n•   BAUD\nTell JOE the baud rate of the terminal (overrides value reported by stty).\n\n\n•   COLUMNS\nSet number of columns in terminal emulator (in case termcap entry is wrong). This is only\nuseful on old system which don´t have the \"get window size\" ioctl.\n\n\n•   DOPADDING\nEnable JOE to send padding NULs to the terminal when set (for very old terminals).\n\n\n•   HOME\nUsed  to get path to home directory for ~ expansion and also to find ~/.joerc file ~/.joe\ndirectory.\n\n\n•   HOSTNAME\nUsed to get hostname to put in EMACS compatible locks.\n\n\n•   JOETERM\nGives terminal type: JOE will use this instead of TERM if it´s set.\n\n\n•   LANG\nSets locale (like enUS.utf-8). JOE uses  the  first  of  these  which  is  set:  LCALL,\nLCCTYPE, LANG.\n\n\n•   LCALL\nSets  locale  (like  enUS.utf-8).  JOE  uses  the  first  of these which is set: LCALL,\nLCCTYPE, LANG.\n\n\n•   LCCTYPE\nSets locale (like enUS.utf-8). JOE uses  the  first  of  these  which  is  set:  LCALL,\nLCCTYPE, LANG.\n\n\n•   LINES\nSet  number  of lines in terminal emulator (in case termcap entry is wrong). This is only\nuseful on old system which don´t have the \"get window size\" ioctl.\n\n\n•   NOXON\nDisable ^S and ^Q flow control, possibly allowing ^S and ^Q to be used as editor keys.\n\n\n•   SHELL\nPath to shell (like /bin/sh). This is used in several places: If you are on a system with\nno  job control, this shell is invoked when you hit ^K Z. Also this is the shell which is\nrun in shell windows. If SHELL is not set (Cygwin) or if it´s set to /bin/sh, JOE invokes\nthe first of these which exists: /bin/bash, /usr/bin/bash, /bin/sh.\n\n\n•   SIMPLEBACKUPSUFFIX\nIf  this  is  set, it is appended to the file name instead of ~ to create the backup file\nname.\n\n\n•   TAGS\nIf set to a path to a file, JOE tries to use this as the  \"tags\"  file  if  there  is  no\n\"tags\" file in the current directory.\n\n\n•   TEMP\nIf set, gives path to directory to open swapfile instead of /tmp\n\n\n•   TERMCAP\nUsed  by  JOE´s built-in termcap file parser (not used for terminfo). A termcap entry can\nbe placed directly in this variable (which will be used if it matches TERM), or if it be‐\ngins with /, it gives a list of paths to termcap files to search.\n\n\n•   TERMPATH\nGives  list  of paths to termcap files to search when TERMCAP has a termcap entry (other‐\nwise it´s ignored). The default list of paths to termcap files (when TERMCAP and TERMPATH\ndo not have it) is: \"~/.termcap /etc/joe/termcap /etc/termcap\"\n\n\n•   TERM\nGives terminal type, like \"vt100\" or \"xterm\".\n\n\n•   USER\nUsed to get user name for EMACS compatible file locks.\n\n\n\n"
