Customization
=============

   To extend JED, it is necessary to become familiar with the S-Lang
programming language.  S-Lang not a standalone programming language
like C, Pascal, etc... Rather it is meant to be embedded into a C
program. The S-Lang programming language itself provides only
arithmetic, looping, and branching constructs.  In addition, it defines
a few other other primitive operations on its data structures.  It is
up to the application to define other built-in operations tailored to
the application.  That is what has been done for the JED editor.  See
the document `slang.txt' for S-Lang basics as well as the JED
Programmer's Manual for functions JED has added to the language.  In
any case, look at the `*.sl' files for explicit examples.

   For the most part, the average user will simply want to rebind some
keys and change some variables (e.g., tab width).  Here I discuss
setting keys and the predefined global variables.
