       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  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 -geometry.  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 language 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 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 information such as the JED
       version number, the buffer name, mode, etc.  Please beware of the following 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
       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 simply 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 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-_

FILES

       JED_ROOT/lib/*.sl
              these are the default runtime jed slang files (packages like jed-extra can define additional 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.
