@(#)README 1.3 20 Jun 1995 UCB CEA # Modified 2/18/97 To install scedit: ------------------ 1. Edit the Makefile, change the values of INSTALLDIR and EXPECT. Set INSTALLDIR to the name of the directory where the bin, lib and man directories can be found (eg., /usr/local). If any of these directories do not exist, create them and set their permissions appropriate to the kind of access you want (eg., 755). Set EXPECT to the full pathname of the expect program on your system. 2. Create the directory INSTALLDIR/lib/scedit if it does not exist and set its permissions as in step 1. 3. Run make install 4. Read the scedit man pages, which should now be in INSTALLDIR/man/man1. 5. Create a .sceditrc file in your home directory containing any customization of scedit parameters. Use sceditrc in the lib directory as a model. NOTE: The environment variable, EDITOR, used in the .sceditrc file must be set to the name of your editor; for example, "vi" or "emacs". If you do not set this variable, or if it is set to a name unknown to the .sceditrc file, then you may notice unexpected behavior from your editor. To run scedit: -------------- 1. Make sure your shell can find the scedit script, either through the shell's PATH variable, or through an alias. 2. Run scedit, eg., % scedit -s shortcut_file file_to_edit The shortcut_file is optional. For a help message run scedit without any arguments. To create/edit a shortcut file: ------------------------------- 1. Using any editor, create a text file of shortcut definitions having this syntax: name TAB text another TAB text TAB more text TAB still more text % comment that will not appear % as part of any text 2. Make sure that for each shortcut definition, each continuation line of text begins with a TAB character. The first TAB character on each line will not be part of the text.
