DESCRIPTION

12       GNU  moe  is  a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859
13       and ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly  inter‐
14       face,  online  help,  multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability,
15       unlimited line length, unlimited buffers, global search/replace (on all
16       buffers  at  once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrap‐
17       ping, file name completion, directory browser, duplicate  removal  from
18       prompt  histories,  delimiter  matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8,
19       romanization, etc.
20
21       Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time.
22
23       'global_options' are a mix of editor options and default  file_options.
24       Most long option names have a negative form '--backup' '--no-backup'.
25
26       Each  file name may be preceded by '+line[,column]' to start the cursor
27       at the specified line and, optionally, column. 'line' and 'column'  are
28       applied to subsequent files until new values are specified for them.
29
30       '-' used as a file name argument means standard input.  Directories are
31       recursively descended into.
