Jade

A text editor for X11 and AmigaDOS

Edition 1.4

October 1994

(1)

Backspace should rub out the key before the cursor and Delete should delete the character under the cursor

(2)

The Amiga has no notion of a user's home directory, Jade uses the contents of the environment variable HOME, or if this doesn't exist the `SYS:' assignment.

(3)

When using an Amiga, unit zero of the clipboard.device is used. For X11, the first cut-buffer.

(4)

There is no reason why you can't have more, the editor sets no limitation on the number of marks available. This is just how I have set the editor up.

(5)

On the Amiga there is no way to get these details. So, Jade looks for some environment variables, USERNAME for the login name, HOSTNAME for the name of the host and REALNAME for your actual name.

(6)

Info is the GNU way of creating hypertext documents, for more information see @xref{Top,Info,,info

(7)

On the Amiga, your home directory is defined as the contents of the environment variable HOME.

(8)

Actually buffer-local variables complicate matters but you'll learn about that later.
