It first looks in the directory pointed to by the environment variable <code class="verb">JED_HOME</code>. If that fails, it then searches the <code class="verb">HOME</code> directory and upon failure simply loads the one supplied in <code class="verb">JED_LIBRARY</code>.</p><p>The name of the user initialization file varies according to the operating system. On Unix systems this file must be called <code class="verb">.jedrc</code> while on VMS and MSDOS, it goes by the name <code class="verb">jed.rc</code>. For VMS systems, the <code class="verb">HOME</code> directory corresponds to the <code class="verb">SYS$LOGIN</code> logical name while for the other two systems, it corresponds to the <code class="verb">HOME</code> environment variable.</p><p>The purpose of this file is to allow an individual user to tailor <span style="font-weight:bold">jed</span> to his or her personal taste. Most likely, this will involve choosing an initial set of key-bindings, setting some variables, and so on.</p> <hr> <a href="jed003.html"><img src="previous_motif.svg" alt="Previous"></a> <a href="index.html"><img src="contents_motif.svg" alt="Up"></a> <a href="jed005.html"><img src="next_motif.svg" alt="Next"></a> </body> </html>
