Information You Need to Know About ``BestTextEditor''

The example assumes the following facts about the BestTextEditor application:

• It was installed into the directory /usr/BTE.

• The user's session language is the default value, C.

• The command line to start BestTextEditor is:

  	BTEd {filename]

  where filename is the name of the data file to open in the new window. BestTextEditor creates its own window—that is, it does not run inside a terminal emulator window.

• BestTextEditor creates and uses two types of data files:

  • Documentation files. They use the naming convention *.bte. BestTextEditor provides a command line for printing its .bte data files. The syntax of this command is:

    		BTEPrint [-d destination] [-s] filename
    

    where:

    -d destination—specifies destination printer.

    -s—specifies silent printing. The application's print dialog box is not displayed.

    filename—specifies the file to be printed.

  • Template files. They use the naming convention *.tpl. Template files cannot be printed.

• The existing, non-desktop app-defaults files for BestTextEditor contain resources for interface fonts and foreground and background colors.

• An online help volume for BestTextEditor was created using the desktop Help Developer's Kit. When the online help volume was built, it used the following source files:

  	…/BTEHelp.htg
   	…/graphics/BTE1.xwd
   	…/graphics/BTE2.xwd

  and generated the file …/BTEHelp.sdl.
