nu/TPU is a fully programmable Text Processing Utility. The major component in
nu/TPU is software that can be used to build new word/text processors and
batch-oriented text manipulation routines. The features that make up nu/TPU
include: over 300 built-in editing functions, multiple buffer and multiple window
processing, free and bound cursor movement, pattern matching, automated on-line
help facility, automated allocation and management of screen and memory resource
subprocesses, ability to define keys and keyboard layout, extensible language,
learn sequences, and batch mode processes. In addition to these features, the
windowed version of nu/TPU provides the ability to develop and integrate editors
with X Windows and MS Windows environments. The X and MS Windows versions of
nu/TPU can interact with or define the window input focus, global selections,
clipboard information, and widgets.
Because most developers can’t invest the time to build a new editor from
scratch, the si editor is included with nu/TPU. The si interface includes keypad bindings for si, EVE, EDT, WPS, Brief, EMACS, and
vi editors, and can be extended to include personal enhancements. The number of
extensions is limited only by your imagination, but remember nu/TPU can be used
straight out of the box. If unfamiliar with the nu/TPU editing interface,
review the si interface discussion in the Prebuilt Editing Interface section, pg. . This section will provide you with all the information you
need to start and exit the editor and access the command line, editing keys, and
on-line help system
