NAME
aee - another (easy) editor
SYNOPSIS
aee [ options ... ] [file[s]]
rae [ options ... ] file[s]
xae [ options ... ] [file[s]]
rxae [ options ... ] file[s]
DESCRIPTION
aee and xae are non-modal editors, that is, the user does not need to
switch from one mode to another to insert and delete text. The editor
is always in text mode. Control sequences and function keys are used
to perform the editing functions. In the case of xae, the mouse can
also be used to position the cursor, and perform text selection and
pasting.
rae and rxae are the same as aee and xae respectively, except that they
are restricted to editing the file(s) named on the invoking command
line. No other files may be opened or written, nor may shell opera-
tions be performed.
The arrow keys (up, down, left, right) may be used to move the cursor.
If the keyboard is so equipped, the prev and next keys will move the
cursor to the previous and next pages, respectively.
The gold key is a key that is used to provide alternate behavior for a
key, much like a gold function key on a calculator keyboard. So, for
example, function key number 7 (f7) may be used for initiating a
search, while pressing the gold key and then f7 will produce a prompt
for the string to be searched for. The gold function can be assigned
to any assignable key. By default, the keys f1 and control-g (^g) are
assigned the gold function.
The rest of the keys by default will behave as described below.
OPTIONS
The following are accepted as options when starting aee or xae:
-binary When reading in the file, treat as a
binary file (only special character is a
new-line character).
-e Turn off echo from initialization file.
-i Turn off info window.
-j Turn off journaling.
-n Turn off highlighting of menu and info
window borders.
-r Recover from failed edit session (using
journal file from that session).
-tab Expand tabs to spaces.
-text When reading in a file, treat as text only
(both carriage-return and new-line are
special characters).
+number Move cursor to start of line number.
The following additional options are available for xae only:
-fn font Specify a font for use with xae. Resource
name BaseFont.
-fg color Specify a foreground color (color of
text). Resource name ForegroundColor.
-bg color Specify a background color. Resource name
BackgroundColor.
-geometry =columnsxlines
Specify a geometry for xae. Resource name
Geometry.
The xae specific options may be specified in the X-Windows Version 11
defaults file for the user. See your X-Windows documentation for more
details.
Function Keys
aee uses the terminal's function keys to perform editing tasks. By
default, only keys f1 through f8 are defined. (Although a terminal may
have function keys, the keys may not send unique sequences that can be
recognized by software, or may require particular settings in order to
be useful. If in doubt, ask your system administrator.)

Menu Operations
Pop-up menus can be obtained by pressing the escape key (or ^[ if no
escape key is present). When in the menu, the escape key can be used
to leave the menu without performing any operations. Use the up and
down arrow keys, ^u and ^d or the space or backspace keys to move to
the desired items in the menu, then press return to perform the indi-
cated task.
The main menu in aee is as follows:
leave editor
If changes have been made, the user will get a menu prompt-
ing whether or not the changes should be saved.
help Displays a help screen, with all of the keyboard operations
and commands.
edit Pops up a menu to allow the user to mark, copy marked text,
cut marked text, or paste previously marked text.
file operations
Pops up a menu for selecting whether to read a file, write
to a file, or save the current contents of the editor, send
the contents of the editor to a print command (see the sec-
tion Initializing aee from a file), as well as recovering
from a previous edit session (see Recovery below).
redraw screen
Provides a means to repaint the screen if the screen has
been corrupted.
settings
Shows the current values of the operating modes, and mar-
gins. By pressing return when the cursor is on a particular
item, the value can be changed. Also within this menu is an
entry to allow the user to save the current configuration of
the editor to a file. To leave this menu, press the escape
key. (See Modes below.)
search/replace
Pops up a menu in which the user may choose to enter a
string to search for, or search for a string already
entered, or perform a replace string operation.
miscellaneous
Pops up a menu that allows the user to format the current
paragraph, execute a shell command, or check the spelling of
the text in the current buffer.
Commands
Some operations require more input than one key can provide, or do not
need to be so easily accessed. These commands are entered using the
prompt provided by pressing the command (^E or ^C or gold f8) key. The
line commands are:
autoformat * Turn automatic paragraph formatting on.
noautoformat * Turn automatic paragraph formatting off
(default).
binary* Turn on binary mode. Files read into the
current session will be treated as binary
files, that is, the only special character is
the new-line character. See also text.
buffer [name]* This command will move from the current
buffer to the buffer with the name given by
the user. If the buffer did not previously
exist, it is created. If no parameter is
given, then the name of the current buffer is
displayed. Note: a buffer created with this
command is not associated with a file, nor is
it journalled.
case*= Specifies that the case of each letter is to
be taken into account in the search opera-
tion.
nocase*= Specifies that there is no distinction
between upper and lower case during search
and replace operations (default).
cd directory Change directory
character Displays the ascii code of the character the
cursor is on.
define [gold] key string*
Assigns all of the string following the key
definition to the key specified by the user.
The commands allowed in the string are
described in the SYMBOLS section.
delete Deletes the current buffer (the initial
buffer may not be deleted).
diff Execute the diff command comparing the con-
tents of the edit buffer with the associated
file and place the results in a separate
buffer.
echo string - Echoes the string to the terminal during
startup of aee.
edit filename Edit another file. A new buffer will be cre-
ated in which the named file can be edited.
If no file is specified, a temporary buffer
name is created for use within aee. If jour-
nalling is on for the initial file being
edited, journalling will occur for the new
edit buffer as well.
ee_mode* Have aee's main menu look more like ee's main
menu.
eight* If your terminal has an eight bit character
set, then use this command to cause aee to
send the eight bit value to your terminal.
The default condition is to display the eight
bit character as the decimal value of the
character between angle brackets.
noeight* If your terminal does not have an eight bit
character set, use this command to cause aee
to display eight bit characters as the deci-
mal value of the character between angle
brackets (251 is displayed as <251>). This
is the default condition.
exit[!]= Exit the current edit session writing out the
main buffer to the file name used in entering
the editor. The optional exclamation mark
allows you to leave without editing the rest
of the files in the list of files specified
when the edit session was invoked.
expand*= Causes spaces to be inserted when the tab key
is pressed. Spaces fill to the next tab
stop.
noexpand*= Tabs are not replaced with spaces (default).
file Display the name of the file being edited.
help= Provides the user with information about
using the editor while in the editor.
height [number] * Set the height (number of lines) displayed in
the info window. If no number is specified,
the current value is displayed.
helpfile- The location and name of the file containing
help information.
indent*= When creating a new line by pressing the car-
riage return, the new line will have the same
indentation (number of spaces and tabs) as
the previous line.
noindent*= Turns off the indent mode (default).
info * Turn info window on (default).
noinfo * Turn info window off.
journaldir Specifies the path to the directory where
journal files are to be created.
justify Justify the right side of the text when using
the format function to format a paragraph.
nojustify Turn off right justification of a paragraph
(default).
line Displays the current line number.
literal*= Causes characters in search string to be
matched one-to-one with characters in the
text.
noliteral*= Allows metacharacters in the search string
(default).
margins *= Causes left and right margins to be observed
(set using leftmargin and rightmargin).
nomargins *= Allows lines to be any length (disregards the
margin settings).
leftmargin [number] * Set the left margin to number. If no number
is specified, then the current value is
displayed.
rightmargin [number] *
Set the right margin to number (nowrap must
be set for margin setting to be observed).
If no number is specified, then the current
value is displayed.
overstrike*= Causes characters to overstrike or replace
existing characters instead of inserting.
nooverstrike*= Causes characters to be inserted into line at
current cursor position without replacing
existing characters (default).
print Sends the contents of the current buffer to
the printer. The command that is used can be
specified in the init.ae file, see section
Initializing aee From A File.
printcommand - Allows the setting of the print command
(default: "lp").
pwd Display the current directory.
quit[!]= Quit the current edit session without writing
a file. The optional exclamation mark has
the same meaning as for the exit command.
read file Read a file into the current buffer after the
cursor.
resequence Renumber the lines.
save Save the contents of the main buffer to the
file being edited.
show [gold] key Displays the function(s) assigned to the
specified key.
status*= A status line is displayed on the bottom line
of the screen.
nostatus*=" Turns off the status line (default).
stops number * Tabs will be spaced every number spaces,
unless other tabs are set using the tabs com-
mand.
tabs [stops ...] * Sets tabs to stops. After the last user
defined tab stop, tabs are the normal
sequence of every eight columns, or as set
using the stops command. The first column is
0.
untabs stops ... * Removes the specified tab stops.
text* Turns text mode (default) . Files read in
while in text mode are checked whether they
are UNIX files or Windows files. If carriage
return characters are found immediately
prededing a new-line character, the editor
treats the file as a DOS file and discards
the carriage-returns on read, and carriage-
returns are inserted on file write. The menu
may be used to toggle between DOS file mode
and UNIX file mode. See also binary.
windows*= This command specifies whether or not buffers
are displayed on the screen simultaneously.
If windows (default) is specified, then
buffers exist on the screen together.
nowindows*= This command specifies that there is only one
buffer on the screen at a time.
write file Write the current buffer out to the specified
file.
0123456789 Enter a number to go to the line correspond-
ing to that number.
+ or - number = Moves forward or back the number of lines
specified.
[<inbuff] [>outbuff ] !command
Execute the command following the exclamation
mark in the UNIX shell. The shell used is
the one specified in the shell variable SHELL
in the user's environment, or /bin/sh if
SHELL is not defined. You may send data from
the buffer outbuff (or the current buffer if
outbuff is not specified) out to the shell by
using the right angle bracket (>). You may
read into inbuff (or the current buffer if
inbuff is not specified) by using the left
angle bracket (<) as shown. The data read in
from the command will be placed after the
current cursor location in the buffer
* may be used in init file, see section Ini-
tializing aee From A File
- only used in initialization file
= may also be assigned to a key using the
define command
Search and Replace
aee's search facility provides several abilities. The user may choose
for the search to be case sensitive, or ignore the case (upper or
lower) of a character (nocase is the default). The user may also
choose literal, or noliteral (the default) modes for the search facil-
ity. The literal mode interprets the search string literally, nolit-
eral means that some characters (called metacharacters) have special
meaning, as described below:
symbol meaning
^ beginning of line
$ end of line
\\x interpret 'x' literally
[abc] match a single character
in the text to one in
brackets
[a-z] match a single character
in the text to one in
range a-z
[^abc] match a single character
in the text that is not
within the brackets after
'^' ('^' means 'not')
* match any sequence of
characters, useful in mid-
dle of string with known
beginning and end, but
variable middle
. match any single character
The carat (^) within the square brackets ([]) means that the search
will match any characters not within the brackets. The carat must be
the first character after the opening bracket.
The asterisk (*) may be useful when searching for a string to which you
know the beginning and end, but not what characters (if any) or how
many may be in the middle. The first character after the asterisk
should not be a metacharacter (a character with special meaning).
The replace facility uses the same modes as the search facility. The
prompt for the replace operation shows the syntax for the input:
/string1/string2/
where the slash ('/') may be replaced by any character that is not in
the search or replacement string, and "string1" is to be replaced by
"string2". When in noliteral mode, the search string may be placed in
the replacement string by using the ampersand ('&'), like so:
/old/abc&123/
Where "old" will be inserted between "abc" and "123".
Recovery
If for some reason an edit session is interrupted, it is possible to
recover the work done in the session. This is accomplished via the
information stored in the journal file, which is a record of the
changes made to the text in the buffer while in the editor. To recover
a session in which a file named foo was being edited, use the command:
aee -r foo
This is only possible if the -j option was not used, since the -j
option turns journaling off.
It is also possible to start aee with no arguments, and then to browse
the journal files. This is accomplished through the menus. To perform
this task, bring up the menu by pressing the Esc key, select file oper-
ations, then select recover from journal. You should then be presented
with a list of files to recover.
Key Definitions
The function keys and control sequences (alphabetic keys pressed with
the control key) may be defined by the user to perform any of the func-
tions described below.
The user may assign more than one function to each key, as long as each
one is separated by one or more spaces. The following describes the
functions of the keys and how the user may redefine the keyboard during
the edit session on the command line. The same syntax is used in the
initialization file.
Note that the '^' is typed by the user in the following examples, and
is not generated by pressing the control key and letter, and that f2 is
entered by typing an 'f' and then a '2'.
Examples:
define ^b dl
will define the key control b to have the function delete line.
define gold ^b udl
assigns the function undelete line to GOLD control b.
define f2 /this is an inserted string/ cr
will cause the string between the delimiters (/) to be inserted fol-
lowed by a carriage-return whenever the function key f2 is pressed.
If you wish to have a key that deletes to the end of line without
appending the next line to the end, you may make the following key def-
inition:
define f3 dl cr left
This set of functions will delete to the end of line and append the
next to the end of the line, then insert a line at the cursor, and then
move the cursor back to the end of the previous line, the position
where you started. This may of course be assigned to any valid key.
Symbols
The following symbols, as well as the commands noted by (=) in the list
of commands may be assigned to keys using the define command.

Initializing aee From A File
aee checks for a file named init.ae in /usr/local/lib, .init.ae in the
user's home directory, then for .init.ae in the current directory.
(This file may be created manually or by using the menu entry 'save
editor config' in the 'settings' menu.) If the file exists, it is read
and initializes aee to the parameters as defined in the file. By hav-
ing initialization files in multiple places, the user may specify set-
tings for global use, and then supplement these with customization for
the local directory. The parameters allowed in the init.ae file are
key definitions, turning off windowing, case sensitivity, literal
searching, eight bit characters, as well as the ability to echo strings
to the terminal (see the Commands section for the commands allowed in
the initialization file). An example follows:
define ^z rp
define gold ^z prp
define f3 und
define f4 unmark
define k0 srch
define gold k0 psrch
case
printcommand lp -dlaser
echo \033&jB
The above example assigns the command replace to control-z, and replace
prompt to gold control-z, as well as setting aee to be sensitive to the
case of characters during search and replacement operations. It also
defines the function keys f3 and f4 to be undelete and unmark respec-
tively. The print command will send its output to the device 'laser'
through the UNIX command lp. A string is echoed to the terminal which
will "turn on" the user function keys on an HP terminal.
The user may wish to echo strings to the terminal when starting aee to
set up the terminal or other devices, so the echo facility is provided.
Echo is applicable only in the initialization file. No quotes are
required around the string to be echoed. Characters may be literal or
escaped (using the backslash convention). The -e option on the invok-
ing command line turns off the echo operation. This may be useful if
you normally use one type of terminal (and echo strings for its use),
but occasionally use another terminal and do not wish the strings to be
echoed.
Operations allowed in the initialization file are noted in the list of
commands with an asterisk (*).
Shell Escapes
Sometimes it is desirable to execute shell commands outside of the edi-
tor. This may be accomplished by pressing a key assigned to the com-
mand function (^E, or gold F8), and then entering an exclamation mark
(!) followed by the shell command(s) to be executed. It is possible to
send data from the editor to be processed by a shell command and/or
read data from a shell command into a buffer in the editor. The format
for this is as follows:
<inbuff >outbuff !command
where inbuff is the name of the buffer to receive the data and outbuff
is the name of the buffer to output to the shell command. By omitting
the name of the buffer, the current buffer will be used. For example,
if you have a list of names and wish them sorted, you could use the
UNIX command sort. If you wished to view them while in the current
edit session, you could use the following sequence:
<sorted >list !sort
where list is the name of the buffer containing the unsorted list,
sorted is the name of the buffer to contain the sorted list, and sort
is the name of the UNIX command to be executed. The data read in from
the command will be placed after the current cursor location in the
receiving buffer. If the specified buffer does not exist when the com-
mand is entered, it will be created. You should be sure of the
spelling of the name of the buffer to be the input of the command if
you are specifying one.
PRINT Command
The print command allows you to send the contents of the current buffer
to a command specified by using the printcommand operation in the ini-
tialization file. The default is 'lp', using the default device.
If you choose to specify something other than the default command, the
command should be able to take its input from stdin, since aee will set
up a pipe to feed the information to the command.
Paragraph Formatting
Paragraphs are defined for aee by a block of text bounded by:
o Begin or end of file.
o Line with no characters, or only spaces and/or tabs.
o Line starting with a period ('.') or right angle bracket
('>').
A paragraph may be formatted two ways: explicitly by choosing the for-
mat paragraph menu item, or by setting aee to automatically format
paragraphs. The automatic mode may be set via a menu, or via the ini-
tialization file.
There are three states for text operation in aee: free-form, wrap, and
automatic formatting.
"Free-form" is best used for things like programming. There are no
restrictions on the length of lines, and no formatting takes place.
Margins are not enabled for this state.
"Wrap" allows the user to type in text without having to worry about
going beyond the right margin (the right and left margins may be set in
the settings menu, the default is for the right margin to be the right
edge of the terminal). This is the mode that allows the format para-
graph menu item to work. The "observe margins" entry in the "settings"
menu allows the user to toggle this state, as well as the margin and
nomargin commands (see Commands above).
"Automatic formatting" provides word-processor-like behavior. The user
may type in text, while aee will make sure the entire paragraph fits
within the margins every time the user inserts a space after typing or
deleting text. Margins must also be enabled in order for automatic
formatting to occur. The "auto paragraph format" item in the "set-
tings" menu allows the user to toggle this state, as well as the com-
mands autoformat and noautoformat.
Modes
Although aee is a 'modeless' editor (it is in text insertion mode all
the time), there are modes in some of the things it does. These
include:
tabs to spaces
Tabs may be inserted as a single tab character, or replaced
with spaces.
case sensitive search
The search operation can be sensitive to whether characters
are upper- or lower-case, or ignore case completely.
literal search
Allows the user to specify whether regular expressions are
to be used for searching or not.
observe margins
The left and right margins can be observed, or not.
info window
A window showing the keyboard operations that can be per-
formed can be displayed or not.
status line
Display the file name, position in the file, and selected
status indicators.
auto indent
The editor can be set to automatically indent the newly
inserted line the same as the previous line, or not (primar-
ily useful for programming).
overstrike
Toggle text insertion or overstrike modes.
auto paragraph formatting
While typing in text, the editor can try to keep it looking
reasonably well within the width of the screen.
multi windows
Allow multiple buffers to be displayed at the same time, or
only a single buffer at a time.
info window height
Displays and allows the user to change the height of the
information window displayed at the top of the terminal
(window) with key mappings and commands.
save editor config
Used to save the current editor configuration to a file (see
the section Initializing aee from a file). In addition to
the settings within the settings menu, tabs and key mappings
are saved.
You may set these modes via the initialization file (see above), with a
menu (see Menu above), or via commands (see Commands above).
Mark, Cut, Copy, and Paste
To move large chunks of text around, use the control key commands mark
(^U or f6), cut (^X or f7), and paste (gold ^V or gold f7). These com-
mands allow you to mark the text you wish to use so that it may be put
in the paste buffer. The paste buffer differs from the buffers men-
tioned below in that you may not move to it, and that it is only used
for these operations. Once the text has been placed in the paste
buffer, you may move your cursor wherever you wish and insert the text
there, as many times you wish, anywhere you want.
Simply move the cursor to the start of a section of text you wish to
mark, and press the key assigned the control key function mark (^U or
f6). Move the cursor over the text you wish to place in the paste
buffer. The text between the cursor position at which you pressed the
mark key and the current position will be highlighted. Once you have
marked all of the text you wish to place in the paste buffer, press the
key for cut (^X or f7) or copy (^C or gold f6). The cut operation
deletes the text from the buffer in which the text is contained, and
the copy operation simply places the text in the paste buffer without
deleting it. Now you may move to another section and use the paste
function to insert it as many times as you wish.
If you wish to copy several sections of text that are not adjacent to
each other, you may use the append function (gold ^B) to put the text
you will mark at the end of the current paste buffer contents, or the
prefix function (gold ^D) to place the newly marked text before the
current paste buffer contents when you copy or cut. The prefix and
append functions are used in place of the mark function.
Sometimes you may start marking text, then decide to cancel the opera-
tion. It is possible to do that by using the unmark operation. The
unmark operation is not assigned to any key by default.
Buffer Operations
aee allows you to examine more than one file in the editor during one
edit session. This mechanism is known as buffers, and the first buffer
is called main. Buffers may or may not be viewed simultaneously on the
screen depending upon the wishes of the user. The default condition
allows for the buffers to co-exist on the screen, but this may be
changed by using the command nowindows. To return to the default con-
dition, enter the command windows, and buffers will co-exist on the
screen. You may switch between having windows and not having windows
at any time without losing information in the buffers. aee will remind
you that you have buffers if you attempt to leave the editor without
deleting them.
Buffers are created when you enter the command buffer with a single
argument, which is used as the buffer's name. This command not only
creates the new buffer, but it moves the cursor to the new buffer.
This is also the way to move to a buffer which already exists. Buffer
movement is also facilitated by the control key commands nb (gold ^N)
and pb (gold ^P), short for next buffer and previous buffer. This is
especially useful if you mistype or forget the name of any of the
buffers you have created and have windowing turned off.
The command buffer without any arguments displays the name of the cur-
rent buffer.
Buffers can be deleted by using the command delete. Simply move to the
buffer to be deleted and use the command delete. You cannot delete the
first buffer, called main. Note that all commands operate in the
buffer in which your cursor is operating, so you may use the write and
read commands to save or read a file into the current buffer.
On-Line Help
On-line help is provided through the 'help' command or menu item. This
command uses a file with help information. By default the help file is
located in /usr/local/lib/help.ae, but this file may be located in the
user's home directory with the name .help.ae, or in the current direc-
tory with the name help.ae.
WARNINGS
A journal file will not be created if the user does not have write per-
mission to the directory in which the file is to reside.
If the file to edit does not exist, and is to be created in a directory
to which the user does not have write permission, aee will exit with an
error without editing the file.
The automatic paragraph formatting operation may be too slow for slower
systems.
Writing the information to the journal during some operations may be
rather disk I/O intensive, which may impact performance noticably on
slower systems. Journal files may also grow considerably during an
edit session, which may be a concern if there is little disk space
available. Turning off journaling may be useful if performance is
slow, but turning off journaling will mean the loss of data should a
system or network failure occur while using the editor.
