- Well, I *had* a nice doc file, and ARC ate it.
-
- Here's a quickie, instead.
-
- Tomas Rokicki has added ARexx compatibility to MicroGnuEmacs. I've made a
- few changes to his version, and included everything in the way of new
- executables and documentation in this archive. See "readme.tgr" for Tom's
- extensive, nifty changes; this talks only about mine.
-
- 1. The function keys are bound differently.
-
- /* Function keys */
-
- F1, "fill-paragraph");
- SHIFT-F1, "set-fill-column");
-
- F2, "query-replace");
- SHIFT-F2, "goto-line");
-
- F3, "search-again");
- SHIFT-F3, "find-file-other-window");
-
- F4, "capitalize-word");
- SHIFT-F4, "what-cursor-position");
-
- F5, "backward-paragraph");
- SHIFT-F5, "kill-paragraph");
-
- F6, "forward-paragraph");
- SHIFT-F6, "auto-indent-mode");
-
- F7, "start-kbd-macro");
- SHIFT-F7, "end-kbd-macro");
-
- F8, "call-last-kbd-macro");
- SHIFT-F8, "global-set-key");
-
- F9, "find-file");
- SHIFT-F9, "insert-file");
-
- F10, "save-buffers-kill-emacs");
- SHIFT-F10, "suspend-emacs");
-
-
- 2. Maximum line length is 4096 instead of 256. I was sick of "file has
- long line" messages; this ought to help a little. It may also gobble
- memory at a ridiculous rate, but it's my personal emacs, and I have a
- decent supply of memory.
-
- 3. I changed the fill-paragraph function to double-space after quoted
- sentences as well as regular ones. End-of-sentence punctuation
- consists of: : . ? ! as far as mg1b/Rexx is concerned;
- delimiter/quotation marks consist of ' " ) } ]. Thus, the default is
- to leave two spaces after things like "There!" and ``Really?'' and
- such. Note the mg1b will let you do it differently if you like (for
- instance, I use a single space above) if you want to... Play with it
- and see what happens...
-
- 4. I changed the name, restored the borderless window, and changed the
- color of the mode-line, and added menus & mouse functions.
-
- 5. The ".mg" startup file I've included is the one which I'm currently
- using. You'll notice that Tom has made some significant changes to the
- way this file must be written...

- ======================
-
- If it breaks in both emacs.jwl and emacs.tgr, contact either Tom Rokicki
- or Mike Meyer; they're Real Programmers. If it breaks only in emacs.jwl,
- let me know about it and I'll see what I can do (leave mail for John
- Lockhart on Harbour Light, Toad Hall, Channel One, or IDCMP), but no
- promises, warrantees, guarantees, etc.
-
- Enjoy...
