=Title About VAX LSE
=Include DECW_Overview

                 VAX Language-Sensitive Editor Version 3.0
                   © Digital Equipment Corporation. 1989.
                            All Rights Reserved

 The VAX Language-Sensitive Editor is a multi-language, multi-window,
 screen-oriented editor specifically designed for program development and
 maintenance.  The Editor is ``language-sensitive'' in that it provides
 users with VAX language-specific information.  This information enables
 both new and experienced programmers to develop programs faster, with fewer
 errors, through VAX language-specific construct completion, and error
 detection and correction facilities.

 The VAX Language-Sensitive Editor, along with VAX DEC/CMS, VAX DEC/MMS, VAX
 DEC/Test Manager, VAX Performance and Coverage Analyzer, and VAX Source
 Code Analyzer make up the VAXset Package.

 The VAX Language-Sensitive Editor works in concert with supported VAX
 languages and the VAX Symbolic Debugger to provide a highly interactive,
 on-line environment that facilitates the EDIT-COMPILE-DEBUG portion of the
 program development cycle.  Within a single editing session, users can
 write code, edit, compile, review compile-time errors, and correct compile
 time errors.  The Editor can be invoked directly from the VAX Symbolic
 Debugger to correct source code errors found during a debugging session.

 Users can customize the environment by tailoring and expanding upon the
 features and structures provided by the VAX Language-Sensitive Editor.
 User-defined environments can be saved for future use.

 Operating System:  VMS

 appears.  To choose a menu item, still pressing MB1, move the pointer down to
 the desired item, and then release MB1.

 To display the contents of a pop-up menu, position the pointer within a user,
 review, or query buffer and press MB2.  To choose menu items, still pressing
 MB2, position the pointer on the desired item, and then release MB2.  To
 avoid choosing an item on a pop-up menu, release the mouse button outside of
 the menu borders.

 To get context-sensitive help on pull-down and pop-up menu items, do the
 following:

   o  Position the pointer on the item for which you want help
   o  Press and hold the Help key on the keyboard
   o  Release the mouse button.

DECW Goto Source

=Title Goto Source
=Include GOTO SOURCE
 You use the Goto Source pop-up menu item to display the source corresponding
 to the current diagnostic or query item.  The GOTO SOURCE menu item has
 different actions depending on whether LSE is in review or query mode.
 To get into review mode, choose the Review menu item once you have
 compiled your source code.  To get into query mode, select an SCA library
 for querying.

 Review Mode:

 LSE selects the diagnostic at the current position in the $REVIEW
 buffer and a region for which source display is desired.  This
 becomes the current diagnostic.  LSE highlights the current
 diagnostic and the current region, and displays in a second window
 (with the region highlighted) the file containing the current region.
 When a diagnostic is selected in this way, the buffer containing the
 current region becomes the current buffer.

 LSE may display a suggested error correction and prompt for a yes
 (Y) or no (N) response; LSE makes the correction if you respond with
 a yes.

 Query Mode:

 LSE selects the query item occurrence at the current position in the
 current query buffer.  This becomes the current query item.  LSE
 highlights the current query item and displays in a second window the file
 containing the corresponding source for the current query item.  The buffer
 containing the source that corresponds to the current query item becomes the
 current buffer.

 Review and Query Modes:

 If the source file corresponding to the current diagnostic region or
 current query item is not in a buffer, LSE creates an unmodifiable
 buffer and reads the source file specified in the diagnostics file or
 SCA data file into that buffer.  If it cannot find that file, LSE
 uses the list of directories specified by the SET SOURCE_DIRECTORY
 command to find the file.  LSE uses CMS to access a file if the
 directory for the file to be accessed is the same as the translation
 of CMS$LIB.

 Related Command

         GOTO SOURCE

DECW Help Menu

 If the specified file does not exist, LSE issues an error message and
 cancels the action.

 Related Command

         INCLUDE

DECW Indentation

=Title Indentation ...
=Include CHANGE INDENTATION
 You use the Indentation menu item to change the indentation of lines
 by one tab increment.  LSE displays the Change Indentation dialox box to ask
 you if you want to increase or decrease the current indentation.  Each time
 you click on the Increase or Decrease button, the indentation will move one
 tab stop.

 If you use a selected range, LSE increases or decreases the indentation of
 the selected range.

 If you do not use a selected range, LSE increases or decreases the
 indentation of the line that contains the cursor.

 Related Command:

         CHANGE INDENTATION


DECW Keyboard

=Title Keypad
 You use the HELP key to get help on key definitions.  LSE

 EDT and EVE keypads and displays the corresponding EDT or EVE keypad
 diagram, depending on the current keypad setting.

 To get the keypad diagram, press the HELP key (PF2).  Then press the key
 for which you want help.  Gold key combinations are shown in reverse
 video.

 Press CTRL/Z to end the help session.

 Related Command:

         HELP /KEYPAD

DECW Lowercase

=Title Lowercase
=Include LOWERCASE

 range to lowercase.  If no text is selected, LSE changes the current
 word to lowercase.

 Related Command:

         LOWERCASE

DECW Menus

=Title Menus
 You use menus to do editing operations with the mouse, instead of
 typing  commands or pressing defined keys.

 To use a pull-down menu, do the following:

     1.  Point to the name of a menu in the menu bar.
         Press and hold MB1 to display the menu.

     2.  Still pressing MB1, drag the mouse to the item you want, and
         then release MB1.

 To use a pop-up menu, do the following:

     1.  Within a buffer's borders, press and hold MB2 to display the pop-up
         menu.

     2.  Still pressing MB2, drag the mouse to the item you want, and
         then release MB2.

 o  LSE provides different pop-up menus for user buffers, query buffers
    and review buffers.

    The user buffer pop-up menu contains menu items to undo erase operations;
    cut, copy, or paste text; search for text strings; and save or close
    buffers.

    The query buffer pop-up menu contains menu items to move between items
    and source code, and to delete queries.

    The review buffer pop-up menu contains menu items to move between source
    code and errors, and to end reviews.

 o  Some menu items contain submenus that list two or more items to choose
    from.  For example, the Error menu item contains a submenu that contains
    the Next and Previous items.

 o  If you choose a menu item that requires  additional information, a
    dialog box appears where you can type the information, such as a file
    specification or search string.

 o  Some menu items have a dialog box where you can  choose settings or
    preferences, for example, CMS  Preferences in the Customize menu.

 o  The status line is also a kind of menu.  Clicking  MB1 on the buffer
    name puts your next buffer in  the window for that status line (the same
    as the NEXT BUFFER command); clicking MB1 on one of the other
    fields of the status line toggles that setting  (for example, to
    change from insert to overstrike mode).

 including text search, SCA queries, and diagnostic review placeholder.

DECW New

=Title New ...
=Include GOTO FILE /NEW
=Include GOTO FILE
 You use the New menu item to create a new file.  LSE checks the file
 name to avoid overwriting an existing file.  If there is already a
 file with the specified name, LSE cancels the action.  A new buffer for
 the file is mapped to the current window and becomes the current
 buffer.

 LSE requires that the new buffer have a file associated with it.  This
 is because you must have a file type to set the language.

 Related Command

         GOTO FILE /NEW

DECW New Users

=Title New Users
 LSE is a multilanguage, advanced text editor that is layered on the
 the VAX Text Processing Utility (VAXTPU).  LSE works with VAX languages
 and VMS productivity tools to enhance program development.

 There are three ways to execute LSE commands:

    Menus     DECwindows LSE has pull-down and pop-up menus for most of
              the common editing operations.  Use MB1 to choose items
              in pull-down menus and to  select text.  Use MB2 for
              pop-up menus.  See help on Menus.

    Commands  To type a command, press the DO key.  If necessary, LSE
              prompts you for more  information, such as file
              specifications  or other parameters.  For a list of LSE
              commands, see help on List of Topics.

    Keys      LSE defines some keys by default and lets you define keys,
              including learn sequences, to bind several commands or keystrokes
              to a single key and GOLD key combinations.  You can use
              SET KEYPAD commands to set an EDT- or  EVE-style keypad.

 Related Command:

         HELP NEW_USERS

DECW Next Error

=Title Next Error
=Include NEXT ERROR
 You use the Next Error menu item to select the next diagnostic in the current
 set of diagnostics.

         NEXT ERROR

DECW One Window

=Title One Window
=Include ONE WINDOW
 You use the One Window menu item to delete all but the current window.

 Related Command:

         ONE WINDOW

DECW Open

=Title Open ...
=Include GOTO FILE
 You use the Open menu item to create a new LSE buffer and to read the
 specified file into that buffer.  The buffer is mapped to the current
 window in the work area.

 If the specified file is already in an editing buffer, that buffer is
 mapped to the current window and becomes the current buffer.

 If the specified file does not exist, LSE issues an error message and
 cancels the action.

 The file name and type are used as the name of the buffer.

 Related Command

         GOTO FILE

DECW Open Selected

=Title Open Selected
=Include GOTO FILE
 You use the Open Selected menu item to create a new LSE buffer and to
 read the file specified by the primary selection into that buffer.  The
 buffer is mapped to the current window.

 LSE uses primary selection information to determine the file specification.
 If the file is found, LSE attempts to use additional primary selection
 information to place the editing cursor on a particular line and character.

 If the specified file is already in an editing buffer, that buffer is
 mapped to the current window and becomes the current buffer.

 If the specified file does not exist, LSE issues an error message and
