"Customizable" means you can change the definitions of XEmacs
commands. For example, if you use a programming language in which
comments start with `<**' and end with `**>', you can tell the XEmacs
-comment manipulation commands to use those strings (*note Comments::).
-Another sort of customization is rearrangement of the command set. For
-example, you can set up the four basic cursor motion commands (up,
+comment manipulation commands to use those strings (*note Comments::.).

down, left and right) on keys in a diamond pattern on the keyboard if
you prefer. *Note Customization::.

* Below each text window's last line is a "mode line" (*note Mode

mode line is in inverse video if the terminal supports that. If
there are several XEmacs windows in one frame, each window has its
own mode line.
* At the bottom of each XEmacs frame is the "echo area" or
- "minibuffer window"(*note Echo Area::). It is used by XEmacs to

exchange information with the user. There is only one echo area
per XEmacs frame.

- commands available (*note Pull-down Menus::).

- * If you are running XEmacs under a graphical windowing system, a
- toolbar at the top of the frame, just under the menu bar if it
- exists, provides "one-touch" shortcuts to several commands. (Not

- * If you are running XEmacs under a graphical windowing system, a

- provides advanced GUI facilities like tab controls for rapid
- switching among related windows and progress bars for

You can subdivide the XEmacs frame into multiple text windows, and
-use each window for a different file (*note Windows::). Multiple XEmacs
-windows are tiled vertically on the XEmacs frame. The upper XEmacs
-window is separated from the lower window by its mode line.

When there are multiple, tiled XEmacs windows on a single XEmacs
frame, the XEmacs window receiving input from the keyboard has the
as you type it. This behavior is designed to give confident users
fast response, while giving hesitant users maximum feedback. You
can change this behavior by setting a variable (*note Display

* If you issue a command that cannot be executed, XEmacs may print
an "error message" in the echo area. Error messages are
