       Some detailed documentation is available html format, see below.

       fte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far
       more flexible and configurable.

       fte - Text editor

fte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.

       -h-?--help
              Help on command line options.

       -!     Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configuration.

       -l<line>[,<column>]
              Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.

       -#<line>[<,column>]
              Same as -l. Do not use this option.

       -m[<mode>]
              Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m, then use default mode.

       -C[<.cnf>]
              Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same as -!.

       -D[<.dsk>]
              Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save.

       -H[<.his>]
              Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save.

       -T<tagfile>
              Load 'tagfile' at startup.

       -t<tag>
              Lookup tag 'tag' and display file containing it.

       --     The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames.

       -+     The  next  argument  is not an option even if starting with a '-'.  Useful when loading files that
              begin with a -.

       -noi18n
              Do not use locales in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales.

       -noxmb Do not use XMB functions in xfte - useful if you have incorrect locales and you want to  use  just
              english fonts.

       -font  Select XWindow font to use with xfte. See VIOFONT also.
