Running NEdit
Information on the specifics of running NEdit is separated into two pages.
Here you will find platform independent information, but be sure to also check
the platform specific information.
The recommended way to use NEdit is in client/server mode, invoked by the
nc executable. It allows you to edit multiple files within the same
instance of NEdit (but still in multiple windows). This saves memory (only one
process keeps running), and enables additional functionality (such as find
& replace accross multiple windows). See Server Mode and nc in the
help menu for more information.
If you are accessing a host Unix system from a remote workstation or X
terminal, you need to set the Unix environment variable for your display, if it
has not been set already:
# for csh/tcsh
% setenv DISPLAY devicename:0
# for sh/bash/ksh/zsh
% export DISPLAY=devicename:0
where devicename is the network node name of the workstation or X terminal
where you are typing.
On VMS systems, the equivalent command is:
$ set display/create/node=devicename
On-line help is available from the pulldown menu on the far right of the
menu bar. For more information on the syntax of the nedit command line, look
under the heading of NEdit Command Line
