Re: [Jed-users-l] .jedrc again

[Mike McClain <mike.junk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

    When I moved the key assignments to another file the 
'define global_mode_hook ...' went with them and no longer included
my set_color statements when I found this last night and moved 
global_mode_hook back to .jedrc my colors came back.

    Allow me to express my appreciation for jed and your support.

    Many years ago I stumbled onto a DOS editor called m.exe that Microsoft
bundled with MSBasic 7.0 that like jed is highly configurable and I loved
it. When I switched to Linux I found vi and emacs horrific, used pico and 
mcedit until I ran across lpe which without much trouble I managed to tweek
the source code to until it was usable. It's quite limited compared to jed
but worked for me for several years. When I saw in the Debian package 
description that jed is configurable I decided to give it a try and suspect
it will be my editor of choice for many years to come.

Sincerely,
Mike McClain
