==1==
Q: What does `Zile' mean?
A: It stands for `Zile is lossy Emacs'. It is just another recursive
achronim like GNU.
==2==
Q: How to quit Zile?
A: Type `C-x C-c' (that means holding CONTROL while typing X, releasing them,
then holding CONTROL while typing C)
==3==
Q: How to return to the shell without leaving Zile?
A: Type `C-x C-z' or simply `C-z'.
==4==
Q: Zile is hung.
A: From the tutorial (M-h t):
If Zile gets into an infinite (or simply very long) computation which
you don't want to finish, you can stop it safely by typing C-g.
You can also use C-g to discard a numeric argument or the beginning of
a command that you don't want to finish.
==5==
Q: How to undo the previous command?
A: Type `C-x u'.
==6==
Q: What does `C-something' or `M-something' mean?
A: From the tutorial (M-h t):
C-<chr> means hold the CONTROL key while typing the character <chr>
Thus, C-f would be: hold the CONTROL key and type f.
M-<chr> means hold the META or EDIT or ALT key down while typing <chr>.
If there is no META, EDIT or ALT key, instead press and release
the ESC key and then type <chr>. We write <ESC> for the ESC key.
==7==
Q: Is Zile GNU GPL copylefted?
A: No it isn't. Its copying policy is a Berkeley-style less restricted
one. For more information read the `COPYRIGHT' file.
==8==
Q: Can i compile Zile with the old Berkeley curses?
A: No. Zile supports only ncurses (tested with versions 1.8.6 and 1.9.9e).
==9==
Q: The colors are not displayed on my screen.
A: Enable the `colors' variable into your `~/.zilerc' file. If it is already
enabled, check your `TERM' environment variable and the ncurses manual.
==10==
Q: Zile doesn't compile correctly under the Foobar operating system.
A: I have tested Zile under Linux-2.x and FreeBSD-2.x only. Since it is
written in ANSI C, should be fairly easy to port it under other UNIX-like
operating systems. If you get Zile running under any other OS, please
send a message to the Zile author telling him that.
==11==
Q: What are the available variables that can be modified?
A: Check out the zilerc.sample file for a full list of modifiable variables.
==12==
Q: What is the Zile internal macro language?
A: Zile is written in C only. It doesn't currently support any macro language
like Lisp under Emacs or SLang under Jed.
An extension language, based upon Lisp, is under writing.
==13==
Q: Zile resets the fontlock on every C-l press.
A: Disable the `auto-font-lock-refresh' variable in your `~/.zilerc'
initialization file.
