13 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
14 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
15 is a version of
|
|
|
16 .IR Emacs ,
|
|
|
17 compatible with and containing many improvements over
|
|
|
18 .I GNU
|
|
|
19 .IR Emacs ,
|
|
|
20 written by Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation. It was
|
|
|
21 originally based on an early release of
|
|
|
22 .I GNU Emacs Version
|
|
|
23 .IR 19 ,
|
|
|
24 and has tracked subsequent releases of
|
|
|
25 .I GNU Emacs
|
|
|
26 as they have become available.
|
|
|
27 .PP
|
|
|
28 The primary documentation of
|
|
|
29 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
30 is in the
|
|
|
31 .I XEmacs Reference
|
|
|
32 .IR Manual ,
|
|
|
33 which you can read on line using Info, a subsystem of
|
|
|
34 .IR XEmacs .
|
|
|
35 Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.
|
|
|
36 Complete documentation on using Emacs Lisp is available on-line
|
|
|
37 through the
|
|
|
38 .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's
|
|
|
39 .IR Manual .
|
|
|
40 Both manuals also can be printed out nicely using the
|
|
|
41 .I TeX
|
|
|
42 formatting package.
|
|
|
43 .PP
|
|
|
44 The user functionality of
|
|
|
45 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
46 encompasses everything other
|
|
|
47 .I Emacs
|
|
|
48 editors do, and it is easily extensible since its
|
|
|
49 editing commands are written in Lisp.
|
|
|
50 .PP
|
|
|
51 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
52 has an extensive interactive help facility,
|
|
|
53 but the facility assumes that you know how to manipulate
|
|
|
54 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
55 windows and buffers.
|
|
|
56 CTRL-h enters the Help facility. Help Tutorial (CTRL-h t)
|
|
|
57 requests an interactive tutorial which can teach beginners the fundamentals
|
|
|
58 of
|
|
|
59 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
60 in a few minutes.
|
|
|
61 Help Apropos (CTRL-h a) helps you
|
|
|
62 find a command given its functionality, Help Key Binding (CTRL-h k)
|
|
|
63 describes a given key sequence's effect, and Help Function (CTRL-h f)
|
|
|
64 describes a given Lisp function specified by name. You can also
|
|
|
65 lookup key sequences in the
|
|
|
66 .I XEmacs Reference Manual
|
|
|
67 using Lookup Key Binding (CTRL-h CTRL-k),
|
|
|
68 and lookup Lisp functions in the
|
|
|
69 .I XEmacs Lisp Programmer's Manual
|
|
|
70 using Lookup Function (CTRL-h CTRL-f). All of these help functions,
|
|
|
71 and more, are available on the Help menu if you are using a window
|
|
|
72 system.
|
|
|
73 .PP
|
|
|
74 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
75 has extensive GUI (graphical user interface) support when running under
|
|
|
76 a window system such as
|
|
|
77 .IR X ,
|
|
|
78 including multiple frames (top-level windows), a menubar, a toolbar,
|
|
|
79 horizontal and vertical scrollbars, dialog boxes, and extensive mouse
|
|
|
80 support.
|
|
|
81 .PP
|
|
|
82 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
83 has full support for multiple fonts and colors, variable-width fonts,
|
|
|
84 and variable-height lines, and allows for pixmaps to be inserted into
|
|
|
85 a buffer. (This is used in the W3 web-browsing package and in some
|
|
|
86 of the debugger and outlining interfaces, among other things.)
|
|
|
87 .PP
|
|
|
88 .IR XEmacs 's
|
|
|
89 Undo can undo several steps of modification to your buffers, so it is
|
|
|
90 easy to recover from editing mistakes.
|
|
|
91 .PP
|
|
|
92 .IR XEmacs 's
|
|
|
93 many special packages handle mail reading (VM, MH-E and RMail) and
|
|
|
94 sending (Mail), Usenet news reading and posting (GNUS), World Wide Web
|
|
|
95 browsing (W3), specialized modes for editing source code in all common
|
|
|
96 programming languages, syntax highlighting for many languages
|
|
|
97 (Font-Lock), compiling (Compile), running subshells within
|
|
|
98 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
99 windows (Shell), outline editing (Outline), running a Lisp read-eval-print
|
|
|
100 loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), and automated psychotherapy (Doctor).
|
|
|
101 .PP
|
|
|
102 There is an extensive reference manual, but
|
|
|
103 users of other Emacsen
|
|
|
104 should have little trouble adapting even
|
|
|
105 without a copy. Users new to Emacs will be able
|
|
|
106 to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying the tutorial and
|
|
|
107 using the self-documentation features.

|
|
|
151 .PP
|
|
|
152 These options are processed only if they appear before all other
|
|
|
153 options (and generally must be in the order given):
|
|
|
154 .TP 8
|
|
|
155 .BI \-t " file"
|
|
|
156 Use specified
|
|
|
157 .I file
|
|
|
158 as the terminal instead of using stdin/stdout. This implies

192 .SM Using XEmacs with X
|
|
|
193 .PP
|
|
|
194 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
195 has been tailored to work well with the X window system.
|
|
|
196 If you run
|
|
|
197 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
198 from under X windows, it will create its own X window to
|
|
|
199 display in. You will probably want to start the editor
|
|
|
200 as a background process
|
|
|
201 so that you can continue using your original window.
|
|
|
202 .PP
|
|
|
203 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
204 can be started with the following X switches:
|
|
|
205 .TP
|
|
|
206 .BI \-geometry " ##x##+##+##"
|
|
|
207 Specify the geometry of the initial window. The ##'s represent a number;
|
|
|
208 the four numbers are width (characters), height (characters), X offset
|
|
|
209 (pixels), and Y offset (pixels), respectively. Partial specifications of
|
|
|
210 the form
|
|
|
211 .I ##x##
|
|
|
212 or
|
|
|
213 .I +##+##
|
|
|
214 are also allowed. (The geometry
|
|
|
215 specification is in the standard X format; see
|
|
|
216 .IR X (1)
|
|
|
217 for more information.)
|
|
|
218 .TP
|
|
|
219 .B \-iconic
|
|
|
220 Specifies that the initial window should initially appear iconified.
|
|
|
221 .TP 8
|
|
|
222 .BI \-name " name"

223 Specifies the program name which should be used when looking up
|
|
|
224 defaults in the user's X resources.
|
|
|
225 .TP
|
|
|
226 .BI \-title " title, " \-T " title, " \-wn " title"
|
|
|
227 Specifies the title which should be assigned to the
|
|
|
228 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
229 window.

230 .TP
|
|
|
231 .BI \-d " displayname, " \-display " displayname"
|
|
|
232 Create the
|
|
|
233 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
234 window on the display specified by
|
|
|
235 .IR displayname .
|
|
|
236 Must be the first option specified in the command line.
|
|
|
237 .TP
|
|
|
238 .BI \-font " font, " \-fn " font"
|
|
|
239 Set the
|
|
|
240 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
241 window's font to that specified by
|
|
|
242 .IR font \.
|
|
|
243 You will find the various
|
|
|
244 .I X
|
|
|
245 fonts in the
|
|
|
246 .I /usr/lib/X11/fonts
|
|
|
247 directory.
|
|
|
248 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
249 works with either fixed- or variable-width fonts, but will probably
|
|
|
250 look better with a fixed-width font.
|
|
|
251 .TP
|
|
|
252 .BI \-scrollbar\-width " pixels"

259 Set the
|
|
|
260 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
261 window's border width to the number of pixels specified by
|
|
|
262 .IR pixels \.
|
|
|
263 Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window.
|
|
|
264 .TP
|
|
|
265 .BI \-ib " pixels, " \-internal\-border\-width " pixels"
|
|
|
266 Specify the width between a frame's border and its text, in pixels.
|
|
|
267 Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window.
|
|
|
268 .TP
|
|
|
269 .BI \-fg " color, " \-foreground " color"
|
|
|
270 Sets the color of the text.

288 .TP
|
|

289 .B \-rv, \-reverse
|
|
|
290 Reverses the foreground and background colors (reverse video). Consider
|
|

291 explicitly setting the foreground and background colors instead of using
|
|
|
292 this option.
|
|
|
293 .TP
|
|
|
294 .BI \-xrm " argument"
|
|
|
295 This allows you to set an arbitrary resource on the command line.
|
|
|
296 .I argument
|
|
|
297 should be a resource specification, as might as in your

|

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