<p><code>ne</code> is a full screen text editor for <small>UN*X</small> (or, more
precisely, for <small>POSIX</small>: see <a href="Motivations-and-Design.html#Motivations-and-Design">Motivations and Design</a>). I came to
the decision to write such an editor after getting completely sick of
<code>vi</code>, both from a feature and user interface point of view. I
needed an editor that I could use through a <code>telnet</code> connection or
a phone line and that wouldn&rsquo;t fire off a full-blown
<small>LITHP</small><a name="DOCF1" href="#FOOT1"><sup>1</sup></a> operating system just to do some editing.
</p>
<p>A concise overview of the main features follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li> three user interfaces: control keystrokes, command line, and menus;
keystrokes and menus are completely configurable;

</li><li> syntax highlighting;

</li><li> full support for UTF-8 files, including multiple-column characters;

</li><li> the number of documents and clips, the dimensions of the display, and
the file/line lengths are limited only by the integer size of the machine;

</li><li> simple scripting language where scripts can be generated <i>via</i> an
idiotproof record/play method;

</li><li> unlimited undo/redo capability (can be disabled with a command);

</li><li> automatic preferences system based on the extension of the file name being
edited;

</li><li> automatic completion of prefixes using words in your documents as dictionary;

</li><li> a file requester with completion features for easy file retrieval;

</li><li> extended regular expression search and replace &agrave; la <code>emacs</code> and
<code>vi</code>;

</li><li> a very compact memory model&mdash;you can easily load and modify very large
files: their size is limited only by the core memory available;

</li><li> editing of binary files.

</li></ul>

<p>This otherwise unremarkable language is
distinguished by the absence of an &lsquo;<samp>s</samp>&rsquo; in its character set; users
must substitute &lsquo;<samp>th</samp>&rsquo;.  <small>LITHP</small> is said to be useful in
