The section on Troubleshooting (now 2.3) has been completely written and
includes a lot of stuff that is not properly documented anywhere else. A
fair amount of obsolete info has been deleted and I've incorporated the
comments that people (mostly Stephen T) made. Former chapter 3 has been
split up in two, one pertaining to basic I/O and the other to external I/O.
What were formerly chapters 5 and 6 no longer exist as such; the info in
them has been distributed across various other chapters. Old chapter 4 got
split up, part going to the new chapter 4 on external I/O and part going to
the new chapter 5 on the Internet. In this new chapter, stuff not
pertaining to a specific package (e.g. VM or GNUS) was taken out of
package-specific sections and a general mail section was constituted. Part
of old chapter 5 remains in a new chapter 6 devoted to Emacs Lisp and other
advanced stuff, and a section from old chapter 3 on basic init-file Lisp
and some stuff from old chapter 5 on Info. The rest of chapter 5 was just
misc and has gotten scattered to the winds (mostly in chapters 3 and 4).
Old chapter 6 has also gotten quite scattered; there is no longer any
section specifically devoted to Windows except one of the Installation
sections (along with a section specfically devoted to Unix), and the rest
has moved to join the appropriate non-Windows-specific section elsewhere.
A lot of chapters had their sections rearranged and likewise for sections
having entries rearranged, with the intention that the new arrangement
should be more natural. In general I hope that stuff should be much easier
to locate. I also rewrote the entries on the relation between XEmacs and
GNU Emacs on the authors of XEmacs, including lots of info on who wrote
specific subsections. However, this history is certainly not complete; I
hope people will look over this and fix it up as necessary.

! This is a sample .Xresources file. The resources below are the ! actual resources used as defaults for XEmacs, although the ! form of these resources in the XEmacs app-defaults file is ! slightly different. ! ! You can use the examples below as a basis for your own customizations: ! copy and modify any of the resources below into your own ~/.Xresources file. ! .Xresources specifies defaults for all applications, not just XEmacs; it is ! normally used to customize fonts, colors, and the like, while ~/.emacs is ! used to change other sorts of (XEmacs-specific) behavior. ! ! In general, changes to your .Xresources file will not take effect until the ! next time you restart the window system. To reload your resources ! explicitly, use the shell command ! ! xrdb -load ~/.Xresources ! ! The resources will take effect the next time you restart XEmacs. (Simply ! creating a new xemacs frame is not enough - you must restart the editor ! for the changes to take effect.) ! ! Colors and backgrounds. ! ====================== ! The contrasts of these colors will cause them to map to the appropriate ! one of "black" or "white" on monochrome systems. ! ! The valid color names on your system can be found by looking in the file ! `rgb.txt', usually found in /usr/lib/X11/ or /usr/openwin/lib/X11/. ! Set the foreground and background colors of the `default' face. ! The default face colors are the base for most of the other faces' ! colors. The default background is gray80, and the default foreground ! is black. Emacs.default.attributeBackground: gray80 Emacs.default.attributeForeground: black ! Set the modeline colors. Emacs.modeline*attributeForeground: Black Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground: Gray75 ! Set the color of the text cursor. Emacs.text-cursor*attributeBackground: Red3 ! If you want to set the color of the mouse pointer, do this: ! Emacs.pointer*attributeForeground: Black ! If you want to set the background of the mouse pointer, do this: ! Emacs.pointer*attributeBackground: White ! Note that by default, the pointer foreground and background are the same ! as the default face. ! Set the menubar colors. This overrides the default foreground and ! background colors specified above. Emacs*menubar*Foreground: Gray30 Emacs*menubar*Background: Gray75 ! This is for buttons in the menubar. ! Yellow would be better, but that would map to white on monochrome. Emacs*menubar.buttonForeground: Blue Emacs*XlwMenu.selectColor: ForestGreen Emacs*XmToggleButton.selectColor: ForestGreen ! Specify the colors of popup menus. Emacs*popup*Foreground: Black Emacs*popup*Background: Gray75 ! Specify the colors of the various sub-widgets of the dialog boxes. Emacs*dialog*Foreground: Black ! #A5C0C1 is a shade of blue Emacs*dialog*Background: #A5C0C1 ! The following three are for Motif dialog boxes ... Emacs*dialog*XmTextField*Background: WhiteSmoke Emacs*dialog*XmText*Background: WhiteSmoke Emacs*dialog*XmList*Background: WhiteSmoke ! While this one is for Athena dialog boxes. Emacs*dialog*Command*Background: WhiteSmoke ! Athena dialog boxes are sometimes built with the Xaw3d ! variant of the Athena toolkit. ! XEmacs being nice to 8bit displays, it defaults to: Emacs*dialog*Command*beNiceToColormap: true ! If you are shocked by the ugliness of the 3d rendition, ! you may want to set (even on 8bit displays) the above to false. ! Xlw Scrollbar colors Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Foreground: Gray30 Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Background: Gray75 Emacs*XmScrollBar.Foreground: Gray30 Emacs*XmScrollBar.Background: Gray75 ! ! The Lucid Scrollbar supports two added resources, SliderStyle is either ! "plain" (default) or "dimple". Dimple puts a small dimple in the middle ! of the slider that depresses when the slider is clicked on. ArrowPosition is ! either "opposite" (default) or "same". Opposite puts the arrows at opposite ! of the scrollbar, same puts both arrows at the same end, like the Amiga. ! ! Emacs*XlwScrollBar.SliderStyle: dimple ! Emacs*XlwScrollBar.ArrowPosition: opposite ! ! If you want to turn off a toolbar, set its height or width to 0. ! The correct size value is not really arbitrary. We only control it ! this way in order to avoid excess frame resizing when turning the ! toolbars on and off. ! ! To change the heights and widths of the toolbars: ! ! Emacs.topToolBarHeight: 37 ! Emacs.bottomToolBarHeight: 0 ! Emacs.leftToolBarWidth: 0 ! Emacs.rightToolBarWidth: 0 Emacs*topToolBarShadowColor: Gray90 Emacs*bottomToolBarShadowColor: Gray40 Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: Gray75 Emacs*toolBarShadowThickness: 2 ! If you want to turn off vertical scrollbars, or change the default ! pixel width of the vertical scrollbars, do it like this (0 width ! means no vertical scrollbars): ! ! Emacs.scrollBarWidth: 0 ! ! To change it for a particular frame, do this: ! ! Emacs*FRAME-NAME.scrollBarWidth: 0 ! If you want to turn off horizontal scrollbars, or change the default ! pixel height of the horizontal scrollbars, do it like this (0 height ! means no horizontal scrollbars): ! ! Emacs.scrollBarHeight: 0 ! ! To change it for a particular frame, do this: ! ! Emacs*FRAME-NAME.scrollBarHeight: 0 ! To dynamically change the labels used for menubar buttons... ! ! Emacs*XlwMenu.resourceLabels: True ! Emacs*XlwMenu.newFrame.labelString: Open Another Window ! To have the Motif scrollbars on the left instead of the right, do this: ! ! Emacs*scrollBarPlacement: BOTTOM_LEFT ! ! To have the Athena scrollbars on the right, use `BOTTOM_RIGHT' instead ! To have Motif scrollbars act more like Xt scrollbars... ! ! Emacs*XmScrollBar.translations: #override \n\ ! <Btn1Down>: PageDownOrRight(0) \n\ ! <Btn3Down>: PageUpOrLeft(0) ! Fonts. ! ====== ! XEmacs requires the use of XLFD (X Logical Font Description) format font ! names, which look like ! ! *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* ! ! if you use any of the other, less strict font name formats, some of which ! look like ! lucidasanstypewriter-12 ! and fixed ! and 9x13 ! ! then XEmacs won't be able to guess the names of the bold and italic versions. ! All X fonts can be referred to via XLFD-style names, so you should use those ! forms. See the man pages for X(1), xlsfonts(1), and xfontsel(1). ! The default font for the text area of XEmacs is chosen at run-time ! by lisp code which tries a number of different possibilities in order ! of preference. If you wish to override it, use this: ! ! Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! If you choose a font which does not have an italic version, you can specify ! some other font to use for it here: ! ! Emacs.italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! If you choose a font which does not have a bold-italic version, ! you can specify some other font to use for it here: ! ! Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! And here is how you would set the background color of the `highlight' face, ! but only on the screen named `debugger': ! ! Emacs*debugger.highlight.attributeBackground: PaleTurquoise ! ! See the NEWS file (C-h n) for a more complete description of the resource ! syntax of faces. ! Font of the modeline, menubar and pop-up menus. ! Note that the menubar resources do not use the `face' syntax, since they ! are X toolkit widgets and thus outside the domain of XEmacs proper. ! ! When X Font Sets are enabled with ./configure --with-xfs (eg, for ! multilingual menubars and XIM), some .font resources (those specific to ! the Lucid widget set) are ignored in favor of .fontSet resources. ! Note that you need to use fontSet (or FontSet) in that case even if you ! want to specify one font: ! ! *menubar*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! There is no harm in having both resources set, except for the confusion ! you suffer. Sorry; that's the price of backward compatibility. ! *menubar*Font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* *popup*Font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* *menubar*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-iso10646-1, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0208.1983-0, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0201.1976-0 *popup*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-iso10646-1, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0208.1983-0, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0201.1976-0 ! Font in the Motif dialog boxes. ! (Motif uses `fontList' while most other things use `font' - if you don't ! know why you probably don't want to.) !

Font in the Athena dialog boxes. ! I think 14-point looks nicer than 12-point. ! Some people use 12-point anyway because you get more text, but ! there's no purpose at all in doing this for dialog boxes. Emacs*Dialog*Font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! Dialog box translations. ! ======================= ! This accelerator binds <return> in a dialog box to <activate> on button1 Emacs*dialog*button1.accelerators:#override\ <KeyPress>Return: ArmAndActivate()\n\ <KeyPress>KP_Enter: ArmAndActivate()\n\ Ctrl<KeyPress>m: ArmAndActivate()\n !

With the XEmacs typeahead it's better to not have space be bound to ! ArmAndActivate() for buttons that appear in dialog boxes.
