Since Jade supports two vastly different operating systems they both need to be covered separately.
The normal way to start Jade on the Amiga is to type its name at the Shell (or CLI) together with any options (see section Startup Options) you want. Note that these options are in the traditional Unix style, a dash followed by the option name and any arguments, not the standard AmigaDOS method.
It is also possible to invoke the editor from the Workbench, simply double clicking on its icon will cause Jade to open its initial window. Unfortunately there is no support for passing arguments via Tool Types, nor is there any way to create icons with saved files. This is largely due to the fact that I rarely use the Workbench -- if enough people complain about this I will probably fix it. Jade doesn't have an icon yet, you'll have to make one yourself.
Jade should be started like most other Unix programs, type its name and any arguments to a shell. It must be able to connect to an X server (preferably the one controlling your terminal), the `-display' option can be used if needed.
