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.
