I have a UNIX shell account on PANIX. I use the JOE editor. They offer 3 versions of JOE that I can use. I recently switched from JOE 3.3 to 4.1 and now I am having an issue with setting the right margin (-rmargin xx) on specific file types. I have the following entries in my $HOME/.joerc file that work fine in 3.3 but they do not work in 4.1:
*.html
-rmargin 250
*mutt_aliases
-rmargin 250
*.aliases
-rmargin 120
*.mutt
-rmargin 80
In 4.1, every file I edit, has the right margin set to 80. For example, if I edit ~/.aliases, the right margin is set to 80. Same with any .html file. If I change the value of the *.mutt value of -rmargin from 80 to , let;s say, 100, then every file has a right margin of 100.
I have read some on the ftyperc file but I get an error when I include it. Is this ftyperc file the only way in 4.1 to get the right margin set for specific files?
Thanks!
