My macro package is an extension of Willi Lange's kedit macros
of 1985 ff.

Always set the environment variable THE_MACRO_PATH to the correct
value (see below).

------------------------------------------------------------------
Under unix copy this stuff to a new directory <whatever> and do

cd ~
ln <whatever>/profile.the .therc
ln <whatever>/XCurses .therc

Create this script in ~/bin as "k" and assign execute privileges:
#/bin/sh
if [ $DISPLAY ] ; then
   xthe -w 8192 $* &
else
   the -w 8192 $*
fi

------------------------------------------------------------------

Under Windows or OS/2 copy this stuff to a new directory <whatever>
and set the environment variable THE_PROFILE_FILE to
<whatever>\profile.the

Create a batch file "k.bat" in one of the paths listed in PATH with
this content:
@the -w 8192 %*

------------------------------------------------------------------

After invoking "k" you should read the help about the keyboard
layout. You can switch between the command line and the file area
with either Alt-J or Ctrl-J. The keyboard layout will be displayed
by the command

keys

on the command line.

Many improvement have been done. Some of them are in German but are
easy to translate.

Benefits:
* Different behaviour for different source files.
* Better comment handling
* Not coloured extremely. If you need a syntax highlighter you should
  better change your programming style, not the displaying tool.

Big things you should try on the command line:
ant [args]            - invoke ant with optional arguments and redirect the
                        output to the file "err"
make [args]           - invoke [n]make with optional arguments and redirect the
                        output to the file "err"
class                 - create/change a comment for a class. Other comment
                        styles are available, too. Change and enjoy.
