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 look up key sequences in the
|
|
|
66 .I XEmacs Reference Manual
|
|
|
67 using Lookup Key Binding (CTRL-h CTRL-k),
|
|
|
68 and look up 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 users of other Emacsen
|
|
|
103 should have little trouble adapting even without a copy. Users new to
|
|
|
104 Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly by studying
|
|
|
105 the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.

109 XEmacs accepts all standard X Toolkit command line options when run in
|
|
|
110 an X Windows environment. In addition, the following options are accepted
|
|
|
111 (when options imply a sequence of actions to perform, they are
|
|
|
112 performed in the order encountered):

200 .SM Using XEmacs with X Windows
|
|
428
|
201 .PP
|
|
|
202 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
203 has been tailored to work well with the X window system.
|
|
|
204 If you run
|
|
|
205 .I XEmacs
|
|
442
|
206 from under X windows, it will create its own X window to display in.
|
|
428
|
207 .PP
|
|
|
208 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
209 can be started with the following standard X options:
|
|
|
210 .TP
|
|
|
211 .BI \-visual " <visualname><bitdepth>"
|
|
|
212 Select the visual that XEmacs will attempt to use.
|
|
|
213 .I <visualname>
|
|
|
214 should be one of the strings "StaticColor", "TrueColor", "GrayScale",
|
|
|
215 "PseudoColor" or "DirectColor", and
|
|
|
216 .I <bitdepth>
|
|
|
217 should be the number of bits per pixel (example, "-visual TrueColor24"
|
|
|
218 for a 24bit TrueColor visual) See
|
|
|
219 .IR X (1)
|
|
|
220 for more information.
|
|
|
221 .TP
|
|
|
222 .B -privateColormap
|
|
442
|
223 Require XEmacs to create and use a private colormap for display. This
|
|
|
224 will keep XEmacs from taking colors from the default colormap and
|
|
|
225 keeping them from other clients, at the cost of causing annoying
|
|
|
226 flicker when the focus changes. Use this option only if your X server
|
|
|
227 does not support 24 bit visuals.
|
|
428
|
228 .TP
|
|
|
229 .BI \-geometry " ##x##+##+##"
|
|
|
230 Specify the geometry of the initial window. The ##'s represent a number;
|
|
|
231 the four numbers are width (characters), height (characters), X offset
|
|
|
232 (pixels), and Y offset (pixels), respectively. Partial specifications of
|
|
|
233 the form
|
|
|
234 .I ##x##
|
|
|
235 or
|
|
|
236 .I +##+##
|
|
|
237 are also allowed. (The geometry
|
|
|
238 specification is in the standard X format; see
|
|
|
239 .IR X (1)
|
|
|
240 for more information.)
|
|
|
241 .TP
|
|
|
242 .B \-iconic
|
|
|
243 Specifies that the initial window should initially appear iconified.
|
|
|
244 .TP 8
|
|
|
245 .BI \-name " name"
|
|
|
246 Specifies the program name which should be used when looking up
|
|
|
247 defaults in the user's X resources.
|
|
|
248 .TP
|
|
|
249 .BI \-title " title, " \-T " title, " \-wn " title"
|
|
|
250 Specifies the title which should be assigned to the
|
|
|
251 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
252 window.
|
|
|
253 .TP
|

|
257 window on the display specified by
|
|
|
258 .IR displayname .
|

259 Must be the first option specified in the command line.
|

260 .TP
|
|

263 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
264 window's font to that specified by
|
|
|
265 .IR font \.

290 Defaults to one pixel on each side of the window.
|

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

693 who offer it.

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

754 (including this man page and much of the FAQ), the external widget code,
|
|
|
755 and retooled or rewrote most of the basic, low-level
|
|
|
756 .I XEmacs
|

758 .I Lucid

761 code contributor for all of these releases. Richard Mlynarik rewrote
|
|
|
762 the
|
|
|
763 .I XEmacs
|
|
|
764 Lisp-object allocation system, improved the keymap and minibuffer code,
