          202/1.  Introduction

          201/This document describes the NMODE text editor.  NMODE is an interactive,
          multiple-window, screen-oriented editor written in PSL (Portable Standard
          Lisp).  NMODE provides a compatible subset of the EMACS text editor,
          developed at M.I.T.  It also contains a number of extensions, most notably an
          interface to the underlying Lisp system for Lisp programmers.

          NMODE was developed at the Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Computer Research
          Center by Alan Snyder.  A number of significant extensions have been
          contributed by Jeff Soreff.

          NMODE is based on an earlier editor, EMODE, written in PSL by William F.
          Galway  at  the  University  of  Utah.   Many of the basic ideas and the
          underlying structure of the NMODE editor come directly from EMODE.

          This document is only partially complete, but is being reprinted at this time
          for the benefit of new users that are not familiar with EMACS.  The bulk of
          this document has been borrowed from EMACS documentation and modified
          appropriately in areas where NMODE and EMACS differ.
