  Description
  
  The e command starts the INed full-screen editor.  How the editor
  starts depends on the parameters you give the e command.  For ex-
  ample:
  
  e	Starts the editor at the file and cursor position displayed the
  last time you exited from the editor.  If you were using multiple
  windows, only the file in the  last  active  window is displayed.
  If the  $HOME/.estate file does not exist, your current directory
  is displayed.
  
  e File	Starts the editor at the first page of the specified file.
  If  this  file  does  not exist, the editor displays the menu  to
  create it.  The File parameter can be either a file in the
  current directory or a complete file path name.
  
  You can enter as many as three additional parameters with the
  File parameter, as follows:
  
  e File Line	Starts the editor at the specified line number (the
  Line parameter) where the cursor is to be positioned.  If you do
  not specify a line number, line 1 is assumed.
  
  e File Line Column	Starts the editor at the specified line number
  and the column number (the Column parameter) where the cursor is
  to be positioned.
  
  e File Line Column SearchKey	Starts the editor at the line and
  column number where the  cursor  is  to  be positioned.  A search
  down is then started to find the next occurrence  of  the  search
  key (the SearchKey parameter).  Enter:
  
  File 0 0 SearchKey
  
  to search from the beginning of the file.
  
  If you are using the INed editor with AIXwindows, the window and
  border sizes and the font can be changed with e command flags.
  
  Use the  TERM environment variable to indicate the terminal type
  in the  terminal description file.
  
  While you can use a TDESC shell variable to specify the full path
  name of an  alternative terminal description file to use in place
  of the default, you must produce that file with the  tdigest com-
  mand.
  
  Flags
  
  Use the following flags only when running the INed editor in
  AIXwindows.  You can use any of these flags separately or togeth-
  er to change the INed window characteristics.
  
  =WidthxHeight+Row+Column	Sets the size and placement of the INed
  window when using AIXwindows.  The Width and Height variables
  designate the size of the INed window.  The Row and Column vari-
  ables designate  the  placement of the window on the screen.  For
  example, =80x24+0+0 would produce an 80-column by 24-line window
  in  the  upper left corner of the display device.    The  default
  value of =WidthxHeight+Row+Column is =80x24+0+0.
  
  Note:	If the window size (WidthxHeight) is entered without values
  for Row and Column, the INed window is created with a blinking,
  broken-line border, and can be positioned with the mouse.
  
  -b Number	Sets the distance from the AIXwindows border to the
  INed characters.  The default value of the Number variable is 1.
  
  -bw Number	Sets the width of the AIXwindows border.  The default
  value of the Number variable is 2.
  
  -fb Font	Specifies the name of the bold font.  This font must be
  the same height and width as the normal font.
  
  -fi FontSet	Specifies the name of the italics font set.
  
  -fn FontName	Specifies an  AIXwindows font to be used in the INed
  window.
  
  -fs Font	Specifies the name of the special graphics font.
  
  -rv	Displays the INed window in reverse video.
  
  -t	Opens INed in the current window.
