     _i_e_d_i_t_o_r is a simple internationalized editor in which the mouse is used
     to cut, copy, and paste text, and to position the cursor.  _i_e_d_i_t_o_r also
     allows the user to perform simple searches and replaces.

     _i_e_d_i_t_o_r accepts several standard X-style command-line arguments (listed
     above) whose default values can be initialized in your

     Foreground and background colors are set using the options of the same
     name.

     _i_e_d_i_t_o_r uses a font list --mincho-*--14-;7x14;*--14-* as default fonts.
     If you want to change fonts from default to another, add a font list
     specification to your $_H_O_M_E/._X_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s file.  Then _i_e_d_i_t_o_r will use the
     given fonts to display text.  For example, the line
          IIIIEEEEddddiiiittttoooorrrr****ffffoooonnnnttttLLLLiiiisssstttt::::   --------ggggooootttthhhhiiiicccc----****--------22224444----;;;;11112222xxxx22224444;;;;****--------22224444----****::::
     lets _i_e_d_i_t_o_r's font size be 24 dots and Japanese font be Gothic.

     Across the top of every _i_e_d_i_t_o_r window is a menubar containing the
     following entries:

     FFFFiiiilllleeee    Commands on this menu allow the user to move text files into and
             out of ieditor windows, and allow the user to quit the
             application.  These commands include the following:

     NNNNeeeewwww             Opens a new document window.  A dialogue pops up to
                     prompt for the new filename.  If there are unsaved
                     changes to the current document, a dialogue pops up
                     asking whether to save them.  If there exists a file with
                     the new filename, it will be opened.

     OOOOppppeeeennnn            Opens an editing window on an existing text file.  A

                     A dialogue pops up to prompt for the new filename.  The
                     editor writes into the new file the next time the Save
                     command is used.

     PPPPrrrriiiinnnntttt           Sends the editor contents to a printer.  If there are

                     and then the _i_e_d_i_t_o_r process exits.

     EEEEddddiiiitttt    Changes to the editor window's contents are made with the
             commands on the Edit menu.  These commands include the following:

     UUUUnnnnddddoooo            Undoes the results of the last Edit command.

     CCCCuuuutttt             Removes selected text to the cut buffer.  The cut text
                     can be pasted into another _i_e_d_i_t_o_r window or into the
                     window from which it was cut.

     CCCCooooppppyyyy            Copies selected text to the cut buffer.  The copied text
                     can be pasted into another _i_e_d_i_t_o_r window, as well as
                     into the window from which it was copied.

     PPPPaaaasssstttteeee           Transfers text from the cut buffer to the current text
                     cursor location (the _p_o_i_n_t).  If text is selected when
                     the paste is made, the selected text is replaced with the
                     text from the buffer.  This text could have been cut or
                     copied from any _i_e_d_i_t_o_r window.

     CCCClllleeeeaaaarrrr           Removes the selected text from the editor window without
                     putting it into the cut buffer.

     SSSSeeeeaaaarrrrcccchhhh          Scans the document for the first string that matches a
                     given string.  A dialogue pops up to request the string
                     to be searched for.  Pressing the _S_e_a_r_c_h _F_o_r_w_a_r_d (_S_e_a_r_c_h
                     _B_a_c_k_w_a_r_d) button in the dialogue starts _i_e_d_i_t_o_r searching
                     forward (backward) from the current point for a string
                     that matches the given string.  If none is found before
                     the end (beginning) of the file, the search restarts at
                     the beginning (end).  If none is still found when the
                     search finishes wrapping back to its starting point,
                     _i_e_d_i_t_o_r will pop up a warning dialogue.  The matching
                     string will be selected.  To find the next instance,
                     click the Search Forward (Search Backward) button while
                     the mouse (arrow) cursor is in the dialogue.

                     the string to be searched for (search string) and the
                     string to be replaced with (replacement string).  There
                     are three types of Search/Replace:

                     1) Replace One by One

                     Push the Search Forward (Search Backward) button to
                     search the document for a string that matches the search
                     string.  Push the _R_e_p_l_a_c_e button to replace the found
                     string with the replacement string.

                     2) Replace within Range

                     Specify the range within which search/replace should be
                     performed by typing in line numbers to define the range.
                     Push the _R_e_p_l_a_c_e _P_a_r_t button.  Within the range, all
                     strings matching the search string will be replaced with
                     the replacement string.

                     3) Replace All

                     Push the _R_e_p_l_a_c_e _A_l_l button.  All strings in the document
                     that match the search string will be replaced with the
                     replacement string.

     To select text, use the left mouse button to perform the following
     actions as needed:

     _c_l_i_c_k                     Sets the point (I-beam or text cursor) to
                               wherever the mouse cursor is pointing in the
                               text.

     _p_r_e_s_s-_d_r_a_g-_r_e_l_e_a_s_e        Selects all text between the the point where
                               the left mouse button is first pressed down and
                               the point where it is released.  Dragging out
                               of the window causes ieditor to scroll in the
                               direction of the edge that the cursor crossed.

     _c_l_i_c_k-_c_l_i_c_k               Causes the word over which the mouse cursor is
                               clicked to be selected.

     _s_h_i_f_t&_c_l_i_c_k               Extends a block of text that the user has
                               already selected. To extend the selection
                               forwards or backwards, hold down the shift key
                               and then click at the end of the extended
                               selection.

     _s_h_i_f_t&_c_l_i_c_k-_d_r_a_g-_r_e_l_e_a_s_e  Also extends a block of text the user has
                               already selected.  This differs in that the
                               extension of the selection changes as the mouse

     _i_e_d_i_t_o_r can grab text from or give text to applications that use the X

     the mouse cursor into a _w_s_h window and press the middle mouse button.  To
     grab from _w_s_h, select text in the _w_s_h window, then move the mouse cursor
     into a _i_e_d_i_t_o_r window and press middle mouse.  The text from _w_s_h will be

     _i_e_d_i_t_o_r uses horizontal and vertical scroll bars with proportionally
