       Jed - programmers editor

       Features:

       Color  syntax  highlighting.  Emulation of Emacs, EDT, Wordstar, and Brief editors.  Extensible in a language resembling C. Completely cus-
       tomizable.  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.

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 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 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-Langinterpreter.	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  argu-
       ment  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-_
	      Undo  (Control-underscore, also Ctrl-X u').
       Esc q
	      Reformat paragraph (wrap mode).  Used with a prefix argument. will justify the paragraph as well.
       Esc n
	      narrow paragraph (wrap mode).  Used with a prefix argument will justify the paragraph as well.
       Esc ;
	      Make Language comment (Fortran and C)
       Esc 
	      Trim whitespace around point

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-B
	      pop up a list of buffers
       Ctrl-X Ctrl-C

       Ctrl-X 0
	      Delete Current Window
       Ctrl-X 1
	      One Window.
       Ctrl-X 2
	      Split Window.
	      Ctrl-X o
	      Other window.
       Ctrl-X b
	      switch to buffer
       Ctrl-X k
	      kill buffer
       Ctrl-X s
	      save some buffers
       Ctrl-X Esc
	      Get "S-Lang>" prompt for interface to the S-Lang interpreter.
       Esc .
	      Find tag
       Ctrl-@
	      Set Mark (Begin defining a region).  Used with a prefix argument aborts the act of defining the region and pops the Mark.
