NAME
       mule - Multilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs

SYNOPSIS
       mule [command-line switches] [files...]

DESCRIPTION
       Mule  is a multilingual enhancement to GNU Emacs.  Mule provides a facility to display, input, and edit multilingual characters in addition
       to all GNU Emacs facilities.

       GNU Emacs is a new version of Emacs, written by the author of the original (PDP-10) Emacs, Richard Stallman. Its user functionality  encom-
       passes everything other Emacs editors do, and it is easily extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.

       Emacs has an extensive interactive help facility, but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate Emacs windows and buffers. CTRL-
       h (backspace or CTRL-h) enters the Help facility.  Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) requests an interactive tutorial which can teach beginners  the
       fundamentals of Emacs in a few minutes. Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you find a command given its functionality, Help Character (CTRL-h c)
       describes a given character's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) describes a given Lisp function specified by name.

       Emacs's Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is easy to recover from editing mistakes.

       GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling  (Compile),  running
       subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), and automated psychotherapy (Doctor).

       There  is  an extensive reference manual, but users of other Emacses should have little trouble adapting even without a copy.  Users new to
       Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.

       Emacs Options

       The following options are of general interest: Edit file.  Go to the line specified by number (do not insert a space between the  "+"  sign
       and the number).  Do not load an init file.  Load user's init file.  Use specified file as the terminal instead of using stdin/stdout. This
       must be the first argument specified in the command line.

       The following options are lisp-oriented (these options are processed in the order encountered): Execute the lisp function  function.   Load
       the lisp code in the file file.

       The following options are useful when running Emacs as a batch editor: Edit in batch mode using the commands found in commandfile. The edi-
       tor will send messages to stdout. This option must be the first in the argument list.  Exit Emacs while in batch mode.

       Using Emacs with X

       Emacs has been tailored to work well with the X window system. If you run Emacs from under X windows, it will create its own  X	window	to
       display in.  You will probably want to start the editor as a background process so that you can continue using your original window.

       Emacs  can be started with the following X switches: Specifies the program name which should be used when looking up defaults in the user's
       X resources.  This must be the first option specified in the command line.  Specifies the name which should be assigned to the  Emacs  win-
       dow.   Display the Emacs window in reverse video.  Use the "kitchen sink" bitmap icon when iconifying the Emacs window.	Set the Emacs win-
       dow's fontset to that specified by fontset. You can specify a fontset just by the name or a comma separated list of fonts.  In  the  former
       case, the actual contents of the fontset should be defined by X's resource or Emacslisp function new-fontset. In the latter case, a fontset
       of no name is created from the list. You will find the various X fonts in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts  directory.  Note  that  Emacs	will  only
       accept  fixed width fonts. Under the X11 Release 4 font-naming conventions, any font with the value "m" or "c" in the eleventh field of the
       font name is a fixed width font.  Furthermore, fonts whose name are of the form widthxheight are generally fixed  width,  as  is  the  font
       fixed.  See xlsfonts(1X) for more information.

	      When you specify a fontset, be sure to put a space between the switch and the fontset name.  Set the dot size of u(pper) and l(ower)
	      linespace in the form u+l.  You can omit u and/or l. The default value is 1+1.  Set the Emacs window's border width to the number of
	      pixels  specified by pixels. Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window.  Set the window's internal border width to the number
	      of pixels specified by pixels. Defaults to one pixel of padding on each side of the window.  Set the Emacs window's  width,  height,
	      and  position  as  specified.  The geometry specification is in the standard X format; see X(1X) for more information. The width and
	      height are specified in characters; the default is 80 by 24.  On color displays, sets the color of the text.

	      See the file /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt for a list of valid color names.  On color displays, sets the color of	the  window's  background.
	      On  color displays, sets the color of the window's border.  On color displays, sets the color of the window's text cursor.  On color
	      displays, sets the color of the window's mouse cursor.  Create the Emacs window on the display specified by displayname. Must be the
	      first  option specified in the command line.  Tells Emacs not to use its special interface to X.	If you use this switch when invok-
	      ing Emacs from an xterm(1X) window, display is done in that window. This must be the first option specified in the command line.

       You can set X default values for your Emacs windows in your file (see xrdb(1X)).  Use the following format: emacs.keyword:value

       where value specifies the default value of keyword.  Emacs lets you set default values for the following keywords: Sets the  window's  text
       font.  List of names of fontsets.  The first fontset in the list is used by default.  Definition of fontset XXX.  It should be a comma sep-
       arated list of font names.  Each name should contain at least CHARSET-REGISTRY.	If reverseVideo's value is set to on, the window  will	be
       displayed in reverse video.  If bitmapIcon's value is set to on, the window will iconify into the "kitchen sink."  Sets the window's border
       width in pixels.  Sets the window's internal border width in pixels.  For color displays, sets the window's text  color.   For  color  dis-
       plays,  sets the window's background color.  For color displays, sets the color of the window's border.	For color displays, sets the color
       of the window's text cursor.  For color displays, sets the color of the window's mouse cursor.  Sets the geometry of the Emacs  window  (as
       described above).  Sets the title of the Emacs window.  Sets the icon name for the Emacs window icon.

       If  you try to set color values while using a black and white display, the window's characteristics will default as follows: the foreground
       color will be set to black, the background color will be set to white, the border color will be set to grey, and the text and mouse cursors
       will be set to black.

       Using the Mouse

       The  following  lists the mouse button bindings for the Emacs window under X11.	FUNCTION Set point.  Paste text.  Cut text into X cut buf-
       fer.  Cut text into X cut buffer.  Paste text.  Cut text into X cut buffer and kill it.	Select this window, then split it  into  two  win-
       dows.   Same as typing CTRL-x 2.  X buffer menu--hold the buttons and keys down, wait for menu to appear, select buffer, and release.  Move
       mouse out of menu and release to cancel.  X help menu--pop up index card menu for Emacs help.  Select window with  mouse,  and  delete  all
       other windows.  Same as typing CTRL-x 1.

MANUALS
       You  can  order printed copies of the GNU Emacs Manual for $20.00/copy postpaid from the Free Software Foundation, which develops GNU soft-
       ware (contact them for quantity prices on the manual).  Their address is:

       Free Software Foundation 675 Mass Ave.  Cambridge, MA 02139

       Your local Emacs maintainer might also have copies available.  As with all software and publications from FSF,  everyone  is  permitted	to
       make and distribute copies of the Emacs manual.	The TeX source to the manual is also included in the Emacs source distribution.

BUGS
       There  is  a  mailing  list, bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu on the internet (ucbvax!prep.ai.mit.edu!bug-gnu-emacs on UUCPnet), for reporting
       Emacs bugs and fixes.  But before reporting something as a bug, please try to be sure that it really is a bug, not a misunderstanding or  a
       deliberate  feature.  We ask you to read the section "Reporting Emacs Bugs" near the end of the reference manual (or Info system) for hints
       on how and when to report bugs.	Also, include the version number of the Emacs you are running in every bug report that you send in.

       Do not expect a personal answer to a bug report.  The purpose of reporting bugs is to get them fixed for everyone in the next  release,	if
       possible. For personal assistance, look in the SERVICE file (see below) for a list of people who offer it.

       Please  do not send anything but bug reports to this mailing list. Send requests to be added to mailing lists to the special list info-gnu-
       emacs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu (or the corresponding UUCP  address).   For  more	information  about  Emacs  mailing  lists,  see  the  file
       /usr/i18n/mule/lib/mule/$VERSION/etc/MAILINGLISTS.  Bugs  tend  actually  to be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in your interest to
       report them in such a way that they can be easily reproduced.

       Bugs that I know about are: shell will not work with programs running in Raw mode on some Unix versions.

       There is a mailing list, mule@etl.go.jp on the internet, for reporting Mule bugs and fixes.  But  before  reporting  something  as  a  bug,
       please try to check if the bug is Mule oriented or original GNU Emacs oriented. The mailing list above is to discuss Mule oriented matters.

UNRESTRICTIONS
       Emacs  is  free;  anyone  may  redistribute copies of Emacs to anyone under the terms stated in the Emacs General Public License, a copy of
       which accompanies each copy of Emacs and which also appears in the reference manual.

       Copies of Emacs may sometimes be received packaged with distributions of Unix systems, but it is never included in the scope of any license
       covering those systems.	Such inclusion violates the terms on which distribution is permitted.  In fact, the primary purpose of the General
       Public License is to prohibit anyone from attaching any other restrictions to redistribution of Emacs.

       Richard Stallman encourages you to improve and extend Emacs, and urges that you contribute your extensions to the GNU library.	Eventually
       GNU (Gnu's Not Unix) will be a complete replacement for Berkeley Unix. Everyone will be able to use the GNU system for free.

       Mule  is  also  free;  anyone may redistribute copies of Mule to anyone under the terms stated in the GNU General Public License, a copy of
       which accompanies each copy of Mule.

FILES
       files for the Info documentation browser (a subsystem of Emacs) to refer to.  Currently not much of Unix is documented here, but  the  com-
       plete  text  of	the  Emacs  reference  manual is included in a convenient tree structured form.  Lisp source files and compiled files that
       define most editing commands.  Some are preloaded; others are autoloaded from this directory when used.	various  programs  that  are  used
       with  GNU Emacs, and some files of information.	contains the documentation strings for the Lisp primitives and preloaded Lisp functions of
       GNU Emacs.  They are stored here to reduce the size of Emacs proper.  lists people offering various services to assist users of GNU  Emacs,
       including  education, troubleshooting, porting and customization.  These files also have information useful to anyone wishing to write pro-
       grams in the Emacs Lisp extension language, which has not yet been fully documented.  holds lock files that are made for  all  files  being
       modified in Emacs, to prevent simultaneous modification of one file by two users.  list of valid X color names.
