Using SoftBench XEmacs

SoftBench XEmacs offers several robust user interface features (See Figure 4-1):

A menu bar provides access to pulldown menu functions.

A tool bar provides quick and easy access to selected pulldown menu features.

An edit area provides a multi-line editing area that responds to keyboard commands, as well as the pulldown menu items.

An input status area at the bottom of the window allows you to input file and command information.

The copy and paste feature allows you to copy and paste between windows.

You can access other SoftBench tools from SoftBench XEmacs, and other tools can access SoftBench XEmacs. See “Calling Other SoftBench Tools from the Editors” on page 130 for further information.
