\chapter{\center{m3text: an editing package for Modula-3}}


\section{What m3text is 

}
\leftindent{M3text is a "source view"; an editing package used by EZ when 
editing Modula-3 or Modula-2++ code.  See the  \helptopic{srctext}  help file 
for general information pertaining to all source views.

}
\section{Starting m3text}


\leftindent{At the Typescript prompt, type "ez file.m" or "ez file.m3" or "ez 
file.i3" and press Enter.  Use of a .m, .m3, or .i3 extension tells EZ to load 
the m3text editing package, according to specifications in the global 
initialization file for EZ, /usr/local/lib/global.ezinit.


If you create your own .ezinit file, you can override the global.ezinit file 
or add other file extensions that will load the m3text package.  You can also 
set various parameters of m3text, which are listed in the section below, 
"Customizing m3text in your .ezinit file."  For details about initialization 
files, see the \helptopic{initfiles} help file.

\section{Pop-up menu meanings}


\leftindent{In addition to the regular source view menu (see the 
 \helptopic{srctext}  help file), m3text supplies some additional menu items:


\leftindent{\bold{Display Interface:}  Opens a window on the file containing 
the selected interface, if the cursor is positioned on an import name.


\bold{Display Module:}  Opens a window on the file containing the selected 
module.

}}
\bold{\bigger{Customizing m3text in your .login file}}


\indent{The m3text \bold{Display Interface} and\bold{ Display Module }pop-up 
menu options search for a Modula-3 file containing the module you have 
selected.  M3text searches the following directories for modules, in the order 
given:}


\indent{1)	The directory containing the file currently being edited

2)	The current working directory

3)	\italic{M3Path } (search path of your choice)

4)	/usr/contrib/sy}


\indent{You specify the value for \italic{M3Path} by setting an environment 
variable in your .login file.  This can be a directory that you have set up 
for your own use, or it can be a directory that is used by your group or 
department.  To specify this directory, add the following statement to your 
.login file:}


\indent{\example{setenv M3Path \italic{pathname}\italic{

}}
\italic{pathname} specifies the entire path to the directory (do not use the ~ 
character).  Multiple paths should be separated by colons.  If you do not 
specify a value for M3Path, m3text searches only the current working directory 
and /usr/contrib/sy for modules.

}

 \helptopic{srctext}  help file.
