15 Q3.10.1: How can I turn off or change highlighted selections?
16 -------------------------------------------------------------
18 The `zmacs' mode allows for what some might call gratuitous
19 highlighting for selected regions (either by setting mark or by using
20 the mouse). This is the default behavior. To turn off, add the
21 following line to your `.emacs' file:
23 (setq zmacs-regions nil)
25 Starting with XEmacs-20.2 you can also change this with Customize.
26 Select from the `Options' menu `Customize->Emacs->Editing->Basics->Zmacs
27 Regions' or type `M-x customize <RET> editing-basics <RET>'.
29 To change the face for selection, look at `Options->Customize' on

35 Q3.10.2: How do I get that typing on an active region removes it?
36 -----------------------------------------------------------------
38 I want to change things so that if I select some text and start
39 typing, the typed text replaces the selected text, similar to Motif.
41 You want to use something called "pending delete". Pending delete
42 is what happens when you select a region (with the mouse or keyboard)
43 and you press a key to replace the selected region by the key you typed.
44 Usually backspace kills the selected region.
46 To get this behavior, add the following line to your `.emacs':
48 (turn-on-pending-delete)
50 Note that this will work with both Backspace and Delete.

55 Q3.10.3: Can I turn off the highlight during isearch?
56 -----------------------------------------------------
58 I do not like my text highlighted while I am doing isearch as I am
59 not able to see what's underneath. How do I turn it off?
61 Put the following in your `.emacs':
63 (setq isearch-highlight nil)
65 Starting with XEmacs-20.2 you can also change this with Customize.
66 Type `M-x customize-variable <RET> isearch-highlight <RET>'.
68 Note also that isearch-highlight affects query-replace and ispell.
69 Instead of disabling isearch-highlight you may find that a better
70 solution consists of customizing the `isearch' face.

75 Q3.10.4: How do I turn off highlighting after `C-x C-p' (mark-page)?
76 --------------------------------------------------------------------
78 Put this in your `.emacs':
80 (setq zmacs-regions nil)
82 *Warning: This command turns off all region highlighting.*
87 File: xemacs-faq.info, Node: Q3.10.5, Prev: Q3.10.4, Up: Customization
89 Q3.10.5: The region disappears when I hit the end of buffer while scrolling.
90 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
92 This has been fixed by default starting with XEmacs-20.3.
94 With older versions you can turn this feature (if it indeed is a
95 feature) off like this:
97 (defadvice scroll-up (around scroll-up freeze)
99 (let ((zmacs-region-stays t))
103 (end-of-buffer (goto-char (point-max))))
106 (defadvice scroll-down (around scroll-down freeze)
108 (let ((zmacs-region-stays t))
112 (beginning-of-buffer (goto-char (point-min))))

296 Q4.0.9: rmail or VM gets an error incorporating new mail.
297 ---------------------------------------------------------
299 Quoting the XEmacs PROBLEMS file:
301 rmail and VM get new mail from `/usr/spool/mail/$USER' using a
302 program called `movemail'. This program interlocks with
303 `/bin/mail' using the protocol defined by `/bin/mail'.
305 There are two different protocols in general use. One of them
306 uses the `flock' system call. The other involves creating a lock
307 file; `movemail' must be able to write in `/usr/spool/mail' in
308 order to do this. You control which one is used by defining, or
309 not defining, the macro `MAIL_USE_FLOCK' in `config.h' or the m-
310 or s- file it includes.
312 *IF YOU DON'T USE THE FORM OF INTERLOCKING THAT IS NORMAL ON YOUR
313 SYSTEM, YOU CAN LOSE MAIL!*
315 If your system uses the lock file protocol, and fascist
316 restrictions prevent ordinary users from writing the lock files in
317 `/usr/spool/mail', you may need to make `movemail' setgid to a
318 suitable group such as `mail'. You can use these commands (as
324 If your system uses the lock file protocol, and fascist
325 restrictions prevent ordinary users from writing the lock files in
326 `/usr/spool/mail', you may need to make `movemail' setgid to a
327 suitable group such as `mail'. To do this, use the following
328 commands (as root) after doing the make install.
333 Installation normally copies movemail from the build directory to
334 an installation directory which is usually under `/usr/local/lib'.
335 The installed copy of `movemail' is usually in the directory
336 `/usr/local/lib/emacs/VERSION/TARGET'. You must change the group
337 and mode of the installed copy; changing the group and mode of the
338 build directory copy is ineffective.

518 -----------------------------------------
520 TM stands for "Tools for MIME" and not Tiny MIME. TM integrates

522 mailcrypt. It provides totally transparent and trouble-free MIME
523 support. When appropriate a message will be decoded in place in an
526 TM now comes as a package with XEmacs 19.16 and XEmacs 20.2.
528 TM was written by MORIOKA Tomohiko <morioka@jaist.ac.jp> and
529 KOBAYASHI Shuhei <shuhei-k@jaist.ac.jp>.
531 It is based on the work of UMEDA Masanobu
532 <umerin@mse.kyutech.ac.jp>, the original writer of GNUS.
534 The following information is from the `README':
536 "tm" is a MIME package for GNU Emacs. tm has following functions:
538 * MIME style multilingual header.
540 * MIME message viewer (mime/viewer-mode).
542 * MIME message composer (mime/editor-mode).
544 * MIME extenders for mh-e, GNUS, RMAIL and VM.
546 tm is available from following anonymous ftp sites:
547 * `ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/mail/mime/tm/' (Brasil).
549 * `ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/editors/GNU-Emacs/lisp/mime/'
552 * `ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/editors/xemacs/contrib/'
555 Don't let the installation procedure & instructions stop you from
556 trying this package out--it's much simpler than it looks, and once
557 installed, trivial to use.

708 Q4.6.1: What is Infodock?
709 -------------------------
711 InfoDock is an integrated productivity toolset, mainly aimed at
712 technical people. It is developed and supported by InfoDock
713 Associates, a firm that offers custom support and development for
714 InfoDock, XEmacs and GNU Emacs. ( `http://www.infodock.com',
715 <info@infodock.com>, +1 408 243 3300).
717 InfoDock is built atop the XEmacs variant of GNU Emacs and so has
718 all of the power of Emacs, but with an easier to use and more
719 comprehensive menu-based user interface. The bottom portion of this
720 text describes how it differs from XEmacs and GNU Emacs from the Free
723 InfoDock is aimed at people who want a free, turn-key productivity
724 environment. Although InfoDock is customizable, it is not intended for
725 people who like basic versions of Emacs which need to be customized
726 extensively for local use; standard Emacs distributions are better for
727 such uses. InfoDock is for those people who want a complete,
728 pre-customized environment in one package, which they need not touch
729 more than once or twice a year to update to new revisions.
731 InfoDock is pre-built for SPARC SunOS/Solaris systems, PA-RISC HP-UX,
732 and Intel Linux systems. It is intended for use on a color display,
733 although most features will work on monochrome monitors. Simply unpack
734 InfoDock according to the instructions in the ID-INSTALL file and you
737 The InfoDock Manual is concise, yet sufficient as a user guide for
738 users who have never used an Emacs-type editor before. For users who
739 are already familiar with Emacs, it supplements the information in the
742 InfoDock menus are much more extensive and more mature than standard
743 Emacs menus. Each menu offers a `Manual' item which displays
744 documentation associated with the menu's functions.
746 Four types of menubars are provided:
747 1. An extensive menubar providing access to global InfoDock commands.
749 2. Mode-specific menubars tailored to the current major mode.
751 3. A simple menubar for basic editing to help novices get started
754 4. The standard XEmacs menubar.
756 Most modes also include mode-specific popup menus. Additionally,
757 region and rectangle popup menus are included.
759 `Hyperbole', the everyday information manager, is a core part of
760 InfoDock. This provides context-sensitive mouse keys, a rolodex-type
761 contact manager, programmable hypertext buttons, and an autonumbered
762 outliner with embedded hyperlink anchors.
764 The `OO-Browser', a multi-language object-oriented code browser, is a
765 standard part of InfoDock.
767 InfoDock saves a more extensive set of user options than other Emacs
770 InfoDock inserts a useful file header in many file types, showing the
771 author, summary, and last modification time of each file. A summary
772 program can then be used to summarize all of the files in a directory,
773 for easy MANIFEST file creation.
775 Your working set of buffers is automatically saved and restored (if
776 you answer yes to a prompt) between InfoDock sessions.
778 Refined color choices for code highlighting are provided for both
779 dark and light background display frames.
781 The `C-z' key prefix performs frame-based commands which parallel the
782 `C-x' key prefix for window-based commands.
784 The Smart Menu system is included for producing command menus on dumb
787 Lisp libraries are better categorized according to function.
789 Extensions and improvements to many areas of Emacs are included,
790 such as: paragraph filling, mail reading with Rmail, shell handling,
791 outlining, code highlighting and browsing, and man page browsing.
793 InfoDock questions, answers and discussion should go to the mail list
794 <infodock@infodock.com>. Use <infodock-request@infodock.com> to be
795 added or removed from the list. Always include your InfoDock version
796 number when sending help requests.
798 InfoDock is available across the Internet via anonymous FTP. To get
799 it, first move to a directory into which you want the InfoDock archive
800 files placed. We will call this <DIST-DIR>.

849 =============================
851 Q4.7.1: What is AUC TeX? Where do you get it?
852 ----------------------------------------------
854 AUC TeX is a package written by Per Abrahamsen <abraham@dina.kvl.dk>.
855 Starting with XEmacs 19.16, AUC TeX is bundled with XEmacs. The
856 following information is from the `README' and website.
858 AUC TeX is an extensible package that supports writing and formatting
859 TeX files for most variants of GNU Emacs. Many different macro packages
860 are supported, including AMS TeX, LaTeX, and TeXinfo.
862 The most recent version is always available by ftp at
863 `ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/packages/auctex/auctex.tar.gz'.
865 In case you don't have access to anonymous ftp, you can get it by an
866 email request to <ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com>.

903 `easymenu' package. Which leads to what is probably the problem...
905 Most problems with AUC TeX are one of two things:
907 * The TeX-lisp-directory in `tex-site.el' and the makefile don't

920 Q4.7.5: Is there a reason for an Emacs package not to be included in XEmacs?
921 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
923 The reason for an Emacs package not to be included in XEmacs is
924 usually one or more of the following:
926 1. The package has not been ported to XEmacs. This will typically
927 happen when it uses GNU-Emacs-specific features, which make it
930 Porting a package to XEmacs can range from a trivial amount of
931 change to a partial or full rewrite. Fortunately, the authors of
932 modern packages usually choose to support both Emacsen themselves.
934 2. The package has been decided not to be appropriate for XEmacs. It
935 may have an equivalent or better replacement within XEmacs, in
936 which case the developers may choose not to burden themselves with
937 supporting an additional package.
939 Each package bundled with XEmacs means more work for the
940 maintainers, whether they want it or not. If you are ready to
941 take over the maintenance responsibilities for the package you
942 port, be sure to say so - we will more likely include it.
944 3. The package simply hasn't been noted by the XEmacs development. If
945 that's the case, the messages like yours are very useful for
946 attracting our attention.
948 4. The package was noted by the developers, but they simply haven't
949 yet gotten around to including/porting it. Wait for the next
950 release or, even better, offer your help. It will be gladly
951 accepted and appreciated.

1032 5.0: Major & Minor Modes
1033 ========================
1035 Q5.0.1: How can I do source code highlighting using font-lock?
1036 --------------------------------------------------------------
1038 For most modes, font-lock is already set up and just needs to be
1039 turned on. This can be done by `M-x font-lock-mode', or by having
1040 XEmacs automatically start it by adding lines like:
1042 (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
1043 (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
1045 to your `.emacs'. See the file `etc/sample.emacs' for more examples.
1047 See also `Syntax Highlighting' from the `Options' menu. Remember to

1053 Q5.0.2: I do not like cc-mode. How do I use the old c-mode?
1054 ------------------------------------------------------------
1056 Well, first off, consider if you really want to do this. cc-mode is
1057 much more powerful than the old c-mode. If you're having trouble
1058 getting your old offsets to work, try using `c-set-offset' instead.
1059 You might also consider using the package `cc-compat'.
1061 But, if you still insist, add the following lines to your `.emacs':
1063 (fmakunbound 'c-mode)
1064 (makunbound 'c-mode-map)
1065 (fmakunbound 'c++-mode)
1066 (makunbound 'c++-mode-map)
1067 (makunbound 'c-style-alist)
1068 (load-library "old-c-mode")

1077 Q5.0.3: How do I get `More' Syntax Highlighting on by default?
1078 --------------------------------------------------------------
1080 Use the following code in your `.emacs':
1082 (setq-default font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
1084 In versions of XEmacs prior to 19.14, you had to use a kludgy
1087 (setq c-font-lock-keywords c-font-lock-keywords-2
1088 c++-font-lock-keywords c++-font-lock-keywords-2
1089 lisp-font-lock-keywords lisp-font-lock-keywords-2)
1091 It will work for C, C++ and Lisp.

1099 Q5.0.4: How can I enable auto-indent?
1100 -------------------------------------
1102 Put the following line in your `.emacs':
1104 (setq indent-line-function 'indent-relative-maybe)
1106 If you want to get fancy, try the `filladapt' package available
1107 standard with XEmacs. Put this into your `.emacs':
1109 (require 'filladapt)
1110 (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-filladapt-mode)
1113 You can customize filling and adaptive filling with Customize.
1114 Select from the `Options' menu
1115 `Customize->Emacs->->Editing->Fill->Fill...' or type `M-x customize
1118 Note that well-behaving text-lookalike modes will run
1119 `text-mode-hook' by default (e.g. that's what Message does). For the
1120 nasty ones, you'll have to provide the `add-hook's yourself.
1122 Please note that the `fa-extras' package is no longer useful.

1127 Q5.0.5: How can I get XEmacs to come up in text/auto-fill mode by default?
1128 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
1130 Try the following lisp in your `.emacs':
1132 (setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
1133 (setq text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
1135 *WARNING*: note that changing the value of `default-major-mode' from
1136 `fundamental-mode' can break a large amount of built-in code that
1137 expects newly created buffers to be in `fundamental-mode'. (Changing
1138 from `fundamental-mode' to `text-mode' might not wreak too much havoc,
1139 but changing to something more exotic like a lisp-mode would break many
1142 Note that Emacs by default starts up in buffer `*scratch*' in
1143 `initial-major-mode', which defaults to `lisp-interaction-mode'. Thus
1144 adding the following form to your Emacs init file will cause the
1145 initial `*scratch*' buffer to be put into auto-fill'ed `text-mode':
1147 (setq initial-major-mode
1150 (turn-on-auto-fill)))
1152 Note that after your init file is loaded, if
1153 `inhibit-startup-message' is `nil' (the default) and the startup buffer
1154 is `*scratch*' then the startup message will be inserted into
1155 `*scratch*'; it will be removed after a timeout by erasing the entire
1156 `*scratch*' buffer. Keep in mind this default usage of `*scratch*' if
1157 you desire any prior manipulation of `*scratch*' from within your Emacs
1158 init file. In particular, anything you insert into `*scratch*' from
1159 your init file will be later erased. Also, if you change the mode of
1160 the `*scratch*' buffer, be sure that this will not interfere with
1161 possible later insertion of the startup message (e.g. if you put
1162 `*scratch*' into a nonstandard mode that has automatic font lock rules,
1163 then the startup message might get fontified in a strange foreign
1164 manner, e.g. as code in some programming language).

1170 ------------------------------------------------
1172 In the `*shell*' buffer:
1174 M-x rename-buffer <RET> *shell-1* <RET>
1177 This will then start a second shell. The key is that no buffer named
1178 `*shell*' can exist. It might be preferable to use `M-x
1179 rename-uniquely' to rename the `*shell*' buffer instead of `M-x
1182 Alternately, you can set the variable `shell-multiple-shells'. If
1183 the value of this variable is non-nil, each time shell mode is invoked,

1190 ------------------------------------------
1192 I'm using the Emacs `M-x shell' function, and I would like to invoke
1193 and use a telnet session within it. Everything works fine except that
1194 now all `^M''s are filtered out by Emacs. Fixes?
1196 Use `M-x rsh' or `M-x telnet' to open remote sessions rather than
1197 doing rsh or telnet within the local shell buffer. Starting with
1198 XEmacs-20.3 you can also use `M-x ssh' to open secure remote session if
1199 you have `ssh' installed.

1209 this, add the following line to your `.emacs':

1245 Q5.0.11: Filladapt doesn't work in 19.15
1246 ----------------------------------------
1248 Filladapt 2.x is included in 19.15. In it filladapt is now a minor
1249 mode and minor modes are traditionally off by default. The following
1250 added to your `.emacs' will turn it on for all buffers:
1252 (setq-default filladapt-mode t)
1254 Use `turn-on-filladapt-mode' to turn Filladapt on in particular
1255 major modes, like this:
1257 (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-filladapt-mode)

1262 Q5.0.12: How do I disable gnuserv from opening a new frame?
1263 -----------------------------------------------------------
1265 If you set the `gnuserv-frame' variable to the frame that should be
1266 used to display buffers that are pulled up, a new frame will not be
1267 created. For example, you could put
1269 (setq gnuserv-frame (selected-frame))
1271 early on in your `.emacs', to ensure that the first frame created is
1272 the one used for your gnuserv buffers.
1274 Starting in 19.15, there is an option to set the gnuserv target to
1275 the current frame. See `Options->"Other Window" Location->Make current
1276 frame gnuserv target'
1278 Starting with XEmacs-20.3 you can also change this with Customize.
1279 Select from the `Options' menu
1280 `Customize->Emacs->Environment->Gnuserv->Gnuserv Frame...' or type `M-x
1281 customize <RET> gnuserv <RET>'.

1286 Q5.0.13: How do I start gnuserv so that each subsequent XEmacs is a client?
1287 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1289 Put the following in your `.emacs' file to start the server:
1293 Start your first XEmacs as usual. After that, you can do:
1295 gnuclient randomfilename
1297 from the command line to get your existing XEmacs process to open a
1298 new frame and visit randomfilename in that window. When you're done
1299 editing randomfilename, hit `C-x #' to kill the buffer and get rid of
1302 See also man page of gnuclient.

1340 `auto-show-mode' controls whether or not a horizontal scrollbar
1341 magically appears when a line is too long to be displayed. This is
1342 enabled by default. To turn it off, put the following in your `.emacs':
