ENVIRONMENT

FE  Contains characters that describe the default modes. The following characters are recognised:

    b   Show begin and end marks of a file in a fashion similar to Origami.

    i   Automatically indent a new line as much as the previous line.

    l   Display the line number of each line.

    m   Magic mode, search regular expressions instead of strings.

    o   Overwrite characters instead of inserting them. You can not overwrite newline characters or fold marks.

    p   Show the cursor position in the status line.

    R   Always redraw the screen immediatly instead of only redrawing it when there are no characters typed ahead.

    s   Scroll the whole screen sideways instead of only scrolling the current line.

    t   Show the current local time in the status line.

    B   Display fold marks in a bold font.

TERM
    Specifies the used terminal type.

FILES

*.hup
    fe saves modified buffers to *.hup files when a hangup or terminate signal arrives and tries to notify the user of this event by mail. http://www.moria.de/~michael/fe/
