SYNOPSIS

9       leaf [-d dictionary] [+n] [filename]
10

USAGE

12       leaf is a simple console text file editor, with paragraph word-wrapping
13       and spell checking.  leaf is based on the text editor in the Cone mail
14       reader and composer.  leaf opens filename, position the cursor on the
15       first line, or line #n, if specified.
16
17       This is not really the best editor for program sources.  leaf is meant
18       to be used as a quick editor for writing short notes and memos. As text
19       is typed, words will automatically flow to wrap within a typical
20       80-character terminal display, even on larger display (due to leaf´s
21       heritage as an editor for E-mail messages, which are traditionally
22       formatted to fit an 80-character display). Word wrapping is "lazy":
23       only long text lines are wrapped. Short text lines are not folded
24       together. Individual paragraphs are separated by blank lines of text.
25       Press CTRL-J to optimally rewrap the paragraph under the cursor. The
26       bottom two lines on the screen list which keys to press for other
27       functions.
28
29       The -d sets the name of the dictionary used for spell checking
30       (overriding the default spell checking dictionary set by the DICTIONARY
31       environment variable).  +n sets the initial cursor position to line #n.
