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.
       + '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-_

              paragraph as well.
       Esc n
              narrow paragraph (wrap mode).   Used  with  a  prefix  argument  will  justify  the
              paragraph as well.

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.
