For example, type: # mkdir /home/xed # gunzip tarfile.ibm.gz # tar -xvf tarfile.ibm SEDIT uses the alt-keys combinations in a manner that conflicts with the usual MWM motif window manager binding. SEDIT uses the alt-keys combinations in a manner that conflicts with the usual MWM motif window manager binding. If the user wants to be able to use (for example) the alt-mouse keys within SEDIT, the user must modify his ~/.mwmrc file by typing: # cd {install-dir-sedit} # typically /home/xed # ./install mwmrc install looks for lines like: Meta<Btn1Down> icon|window f.lower Meta<Btn2Down> icon|window f.lower and changes them into: Meta<Btn1Down> icon|frame f.lower Meta<Btn2Down> icon|frame f.lower MWM does not allow the use of the Shift-Escape key.

To enter the 3270 "Print Screen" command, the user must use Shift-Control-Escape instead. Using dialog boxes with MWM When MWM is in click-to-type mode (Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: explicit), it is necessary to add the following resources in the user's ~/.Xdefaults file: Mwm*dialog*focusAutoRaise: false Mwm*sedit*focusAutoRaise: false You will need to request a temporary license key to activate SEDIT and/or S/REXX. First type: # ./seditid This will display the cpu-id that needs to be e-mailed to your local distributor to get in return the license key. To install the key(s), type: # ./install sedit # ./install rexx and follow the instructions. SEDIT can then be started with the following command: # ./xed Please see the PDF Manual for further information.
