| 14 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 .I XEmacs | |
| 16 is a version of | |
| 17 .IR Emacs , | |
| 18 compatible with and containing many improvements over | |
| 19 .I GNU | |
| 20 .IR Emacs , | |
| 21 written by Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation. It was | |
| 22 originally based on an early release of | |
| 23 .I GNU Emacs Version | |
| 24 .IR 19 , | |
| 25 and has tracked subsequent releases of | |
| 26 .I GNU Emacs | |
| 27 as they have become available. | |
| 28 .PP | |
| 29 The primary documentation of | |
| 30 .I XEmacs | |
| 31 is in the | |
| 32 .I XEmacs Reference | |
| 33 .IR Manual , | |
| 34 which you can read on-line using Info, a subsystem of | |
| 35 .IR XEmacs . | |
| 36 Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation. | |
| 37 Complete documentation on using Emacs Lisp is available on-line | |
| 38 through the | |
| 39 .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's | |
| 40 .IR Manual . | |
| 41 Both manuals also can be printed out nicely using the | |
| 42 .I TeX | |
| 43 formatting package. | |
| 44 .PP | |
| 45 The user functionality of | |
| 46 .I XEmacs | |
| 47 encompasses everything other | |
| 48 .I Emacs | |
| 49 editors do, and it is easily extensible since its | |
| 50 editing commands are written in Lisp. | |
| 51 .PP | |
| 52 .I XEmacs | |
| 53 has an extensive interactive help facility, | |
| 54 but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate | |
| 55 .I XEmacs | |
| 56 windows and buffers. | |
| 57 CTRL-h enters the Help facility. Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t) | |
| 58 requests an interactive tutorial which can teach beginners the fundamentals | |
| 59 of | |
| 60 .I XEmacs | |
| 61 in a few minutes. | |
| 62 Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you | |
| 63 find a command given its functionality, Help Key Binding (CTRL-h k) | |
| 64 describes a given key sequence's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f) | |
| 65 describes a given Lisp function specified by name. You can also | |
| 66 look up key sequences in the | |
| 67 .I XEmacs Reference Manual | |
| 68 using Lookup Key Binding (CTRL-h CTRL-k), | |
| 69 and look up Lisp functions in the | |
| 70 .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's Manual | |
| 71 using Lookup Function (CTRL-h CTRL-f). All of these help functions, | |
| 72 and more, are available on the Help menu if you are using a window | |
| 73 system. | |
| 74 .PP | |
| 75 .I XEmacs | |
| 76 has extensive GUI (graphical user interface) support when running under | |
| 77 a window system such as | |
| 78 .IR X , | |
| 79 including multiple frames (top-level windows), a menubar, a toolbar, | |
| 80 horizontal and vertical scrollbars, dialog boxes, and extensive mouse | |
| 81 support. | |
| 82 .PP | |
| 83 .I XEmacs | |
| 84 has full support for multiple fonts and colors, variable-width fonts, | |
| 85 and variable-height lines, and allows for pixmaps to be inserted into | |
| 86 a buffer. (This is used in the W3 web-browsing package and in some | |
| 87 of the debugger and outlining interfaces, among other things.) | |
| 88 .PP | |
| 89 .IR XEmacs 's | |
| 90 Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is | |
| 91 easy to recover from editing mistakes. | |
| 92 .PP | |
| 93 .IR XEmacs 's | |
| 94 many special packages handle mail reading (VM, MH-E and RMail) and | |
| 95 sending (Mail), Usenet news reading and posting (GNUS), World Wide Web | |
| 96 browsing (W3), specialized modes for editing source code in all common | |
| 97 programming languages, syntax highlighting for many languages | |
| 98 (Font-Lock), compiling (Compile), running subshells within | |
| 99 .I XEmacs | |
| 100 windows (Shell), outline editing (Outline), running a Lisp read-eval-print | |
| 101 loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), and automated psychotherapy (Doctor). | |
| 102 .PP | |
| 103 There is an extensive reference manual, but users of other Emacsen | |
| 104 should have little trouble adapting even without a copy. Users new to | |
| 105 Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying | |
| 106 the tutorial and using the self-documentation features. | |
| 107 .PP | |
| 108 .SM XEmacs Options | |
| 109 .PP | |
| 110 XEmacs accepts all standard X Toolkit command line options when run in | |
| 111 an X Windows environment. In addition, the following options are accepted | |
| 112 (when options imply a sequence of actions to perform, they are | |
| 113 performed in the order encountered): | |
| 114 .TP 8 | |
| 115 .BI \-t " file" | |
| 116 Use specified | |
| 117 .I file | |
| 118 as the terminal instead of using stdin/stdout. This implies | |
| 119 .BR \-nw \. | |
| 120 .TP | |
| 121 .BI \-batch | |
| 122 Edit in batch mode. The editor will send messages to stdout. You | |
| 123 must use the | |
| 124 .BR \-l , | |
| 125 .BR \-f , | |
| 126 and | |
| 127 .B \-eval | |
| 128 options to specify files to execute and functions to call. | |
| 129 .TP | |
| 130 .B \-nw | |
| 131 Inhibit the use of any window-system-specific display code: use the | |
| 132 current TTY. | |
| 133 .TP | |
| 134 .B \-debug\-init | |
| 135 Enter the debugger if an error occurs loading the init file. | |
| 136 .TP | |
| 137 .B \-unmapped | |
| 138 Do not map the initial frame. | |
| 139 .TP | |
| 140 .B \-no\-site\-file | |
| 141 Do not load the site-specific init file (site-start.el). | |
| 142 .TP | |
| 143 .B \-q, \-no\-init\-file | |
| 144 Do not load an init file. | |
| 145 .TP | |
| 146 .B \-no-early-packages | |
| 147 Do not process the early packages. | |
| 148 .TP | |
| 149 .B \-vanilla | |
| 150 Load no extra files at startup. Equivalent to the combination of | |
| 4204 | 151 .BR \-q ", " \-no-site-file ", and " \-no-early-packages . |
| 428 | 152 .TP |
| 153 .BI \-u " user, " \-user " user" | |
| 154 Load | |
| 155 .IR user 's | |
| 156 init file. | |
| 157 .TP 8 | |
| 158 .I file | |
| 159 Edit | |
| 160 .IR file \. | |
| 161 .TP | |
| 162 .BI \+ number | |
| 163 Go to the line specified by | |
| 164 .I number | |
| 165 (do not insert a space between the "+" sign and the number). | |
| 166 .TP | |
| 167 .B \-help | |
| 168 Print a help message and exit. | |
| 169 .TP | |
| 170 .B \-V, \-version, | |
| 171 Print the version number and exit. | |
| 172 .TP | |
| 173 .BI \-f " function, " \-funcall " function" | |
| 174 Execute the lisp function | |
| 175 .IR function \. | |
| 176 .TP | |
| 177 .BI \-l " file, " \-load " file" | |
| 178 Load the Lisp code in the file | |
| 179 .IR file \. | |
| 180 .TP | |
| 181 .BI \-eval " form" | |
| 182 Evaluate the Lisp form | |
| 183 .IR form \. | |
| 184 .TP | |
| 185 .BI \-i " file, " \-insert " file" | |
| 186 Insert | |
| 187 .I file | |
| 188 into the current buffer. | |
| 189 .TP | |
| 190 .B \-kill | |
| 191 Exit | |
| 192 .I XEmacs | |
| 193 (useful with | |
| 194 .BR \-batch ). | |
| 195 .PP | |
| 442 | 196 .SM Using XEmacs with X Windows |
| 428 | 197 .PP |
| 198 .I XEmacs | |
| 199 has been tailored to work well with the X window system. | |
| 200 If you run | |
| 201 .I XEmacs | |
| 442 | 202 from under X windows, it will create its own X window to display in. |
| 428 | 203 .PP |
| 204 .I XEmacs | |
| 205 can be started with the following standard X options: | |
| 206 .TP | |
| 207 .BI \-visual " <visualname><bitdepth>" | |
| 208 Select the visual that XEmacs will attempt to use. | |
| 209 .I <visualname> | |
| 210 should be one of the strings "StaticColor", "TrueColor", "GrayScale", | |
| 211 "PseudoColor" or "DirectColor", and | |
| 212 .I <bitdepth> | |
| 213 should be the number of bits per pixel (example, "-visual TrueColor24" | |
| 214 for a 24bit TrueColor visual) See | |
| 215 .IR X (1) | |
| 216 for more information. | |
| 217 .TP | |
| 218 .B -privateColormap | |
| 442 | 219 Require XEmacs to create and use a private colormap for display. This |
| 220 will keep XEmacs from taking colors from the default colormap and | |
| 221 keeping them from other clients, at the cost of causing annoying | |
| 222 flicker when the focus changes. Use this option only if your X server | |
| 223 does not support 24 bit visuals. | |
| 428 | 224 .TP |
| 225 .BI \-geometry " ##x##+##+##" | |
| 226 Specify the geometry of the initial window. The ##'s represent a number; | |
| 227 the four numbers are width (characters), height (characters), X offset | |
| 228 (pixels), and Y offset (pixels), respectively. Partial specifications of | |
| 229 the form | |
| 230 .I ##x## | |
| 231 or | |
| 232 .I +##+## | |
| 233 are also allowed. (The geometry | |
| 234 specification is in the standard X format; see | |
| 235 .IR X (1) | |
| 236 for more information.) | |
| 237 .TP | |
| 238 .B \-iconic | |
| 239 Specifies that the initial window should initially appear iconified. | |
| 240 .TP 8 | |
| 241 .BI \-name " name" | |
| 242 Specifies the program name which should be used when looking up | |
| 243 defaults in the user's X resources. | |
| 244 .TP | |
| 245 .BI \-title " title, " \-T " title, " \-wn " title" | |
| 246 Specifies the title which should be assigned to the | |
| 247 .I XEmacs | |
| 248 window. | |
| 249 .TP | |
| 250 .BI \-d " displayname, " \-display " displayname" | |
| 251 Create the | |
| 252 .I XEmacs | |
| 253 window on the display specified by | |
| 254 .IR displayname . | |
| 255 Must be the first option specified in the command line. | |
| 256 .TP | |
| 257 .BI \-font " font, " \-fn " font" | |
| 258 Set the | |
| 259 .I XEmacs | |
| 260 window's font to that specified by | |
| 261 .IR font \. | |
| 262 You will find the various | |
| 263 .I X | |
| 264 fonts in the | |
| 265 .I /usr/lib/X11/fonts | |
| 266 directory. | |
| 267 .I XEmacs | |
| 268 works with either fixed- or variable-width fonts, but will probably | |
| 269 look better with a fixed-width font. | |
| 270 .TP | |
| 271 .BI \-scrollbar\-width " pixels" | |
| 272 Specify the width of the vertical scrollbars. | |
| 273 .TP | |
| 274 .BI \-scrollbar\-height " pixels" | |
| 275 Specify the height of the horizontal scrollbars. | |
| 276 .TP | |
| 277 .BI \-bw " pixels, " \-borderwidth " pixels" | |
| 278 Set the | |
| 279 .I XEmacs | |
| 280 window's border width to the number of pixels specified by | |
| 281 .IR pixels \. | |
| 282 Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window. | |
| 283 .TP | |
| 284 .BI \-ib " pixels, " \-internal\-border\-width " pixels" | |
| 285 Specify the width between a frame's border and its text, in pixels. | |
| 286 Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window. | |
| 287 .TP | |
| 288 .BI \-fg " color, " \-foreground " color" | |
| 289 Sets the color of the text. | |

| 309 Reverses the foreground and background colors (reverse video). Consider | |
| 310 explicitly setting the foreground and background colors instead of using | |
| 311 this option. | |
| 312 .TP | |
| 313 .BI \-xrm " argument" | |
| 314 This allows you to set an arbitrary resource on the command line. | |
| 315 .I argument | |
| 442 | 316 should be a resource specification, as might be found in your |
| 428 | 317 .I \.Xresources |
| 318 or | |
| 319 .I \.Xdefaults | |
| 320 file. | |
| 321 .PP | |
| 322 You can also set resources, i.e. | |
| 323 .I X | |
| 324 default values, for your | |
| 325 .I XEmacs | |
| 326 windows in your | |
| 327 .I \.Xresources | |
| 328 or | |
| 329 .I \.Xdefaults | |
| 330 file (see | |
| 331 .IR xrdb (1)). | |
| 332 Use the following format: | |
| 333 .IP | |
| 334 Emacs.keyword:value | |
| 335 .PP | |
| 336 or | |
| 337 .IP | |
| 338 Emacs*EmacsFrame.keyword:value | |
| 339 .PP | |
| 340 where | |
| 341 .I value | |
| 342 specifies the default value of | |
| 343 .IR keyword \. | |
| 344 (Some resources need the former format; some the latter.) | |
| 345 .PP | |
| 346 You can also set resources for a particular frame by using the | |
| 347 format | |
| 348 .IP | |
| 349 Emacs*framename.keyword:value | |
| 350 .PP | |
| 351 where | |
| 352 .I framename | |
| 353 is the resource name assigned to that particular frame. | |
| 354 (Certain packages, such as VM, give their frames unique resource | |
| 355 names, in this case "VM".) | |
| 356 .PP | |
| 357 .I XEmacs | |
| 358 lets you set default values for the following keywords: | |
| 359 .TP 8 | |
| 360 .B default.attributeFont (\fPclass\fB Face.AttributeFont) | |

| 659 .SH BUGS AND HELP | |
| 660 There is a newsgroup, comp.emacs.xemacs, for reporting | |
| 661 .I XEmacs | |
| 662 bugs and fixes and requesting help. But before reporting something | |
| 663 as a bug, please try to be sure that it really is a bug, not a | |
| 664 misunderstanding or a deliberate feature. We ask you to read the section | |
| 665 ``Reporting XEmacs Bugs'' near the end of the reference manual (or Info | |
| 666 system) for hints on how and when to report bugs. Also, include the version | |
| 667 number of the | |
| 668 .I XEmacs | |
| 669 you are running and the system you are running it on | |
| 670 in \fIevery\fR bug report that you send in. Finally, the more you can | |
| 671 isolate the cause of a bug and the conditions it happens under, the more | |
| 672 likely it is to be fixed, so please take the time to do so. | |
| 673 | |
| 674 The newsgroup is bidirectionally gatewayed to and from the mailing list | |
| 675 xemacs@xemacs.org. You can read the list instead of the newsgroup if | |
| 676 you do not have convenient Usenet news access. To request to be added | |
| 677 to the mailing list, send mail to xemacs-request@xemacs.org. (Do not | |
| 678 send mail to the list itself.) | |
| 679 | |
| 680 The | |
| 681 .I XEmacs | |
| 682 maintainers read the newsgroup regularly and will attempt to | |
| 683 fix bugs reported in a timely fashion. However, not every message will | |
| 684 get a response from one of the maintainers. Note that there are many | |
| 685 people other than the maintainers who read the newsgroup, and will usually | |
| 686 be of assistance in helping with any problems encountered. | |
| 687 | |
| 688 If you need more personal assistance than can be provided by the | |
| 689 newsgroup, look in the SERVICE file (see above) for a list of people | |
| 690 who offer it. | |

| 731 It was based on an early version of | |
| 732 .I GNU Emacs Version | |
| 733 .IR 19 , | |
| 734 written by Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org> of the Free Software | |
| 735 Foundation, and has tracked subsequent releases of | |
| 736 .I GNU Emacs | |
| 737 as they have become available. It was originally written by Lucid, Inc. | |
| 738 (now defunct) and was called | |
| 739 .I Lucid | |
| 740 .IR Emacs \. | |

| 742 Chuck Thompson wrote the | |
| 743 .I XEmacs | |
| 744 redisplay engine, maintains the | |

| 747 .I XEmacs | |
| 748 since 19.11 (the first release called | |
| 749 .IR XEmacs ). | |
| 750 Ben Wing wrote the Asian-language support, the on-line documentation | |
| 751 (including this man page and much of the FAQ), the external widget code, | |
| 752 and retooled or rewrote most of the basic, low-level | |
| 753 .I XEmacs | |
| 754 subsystems. Jamie Zawinski put out all releases of | |
| 755 .I Lucid | |
| 756 .IR Emacs , | |
| 757 from the first (19.0) through the last (19.10), and was the primary | |
| 758 code contributor for all of these releases. Richard Mlynarik rewrote | |
| 759 the | |
| 760 .I XEmacs | |
| 761 Lisp-object allocation system, improved the keymap and minibuffer code, | |
| 762 and did the initial synching of | |
| 763 .I XEmacs | |
| 764 with | |
| 765 .I GNU Emacs Version | |
| 766 .IR 19 \. | |
