Beginning with IRIX 6.3, SGI is distributing a customized version of NEdit
along with their operating system releases.  Their installation uses an
app-defaults file (/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/NEdit) which overrides the
default settings in any new nedit version that you install, and may result in
missing accelerator keys or cosmetic appearance glitches.  If you are
re-installing NEdit for the entire system, just remove the existing app-
defaults file.  If you want to run a newer copy individually, get a copy of
the app-defaults file for this version the contrib sub-directory of the
distribution directory for this version on ftp.fnal.gov (/pub/nedit/<version>/
contrib/nedit.app-defaults), and install it in your home directory or set
XAPPLRESDIR or XUSERFILESEARCHPATH to point to a directory and install it
there.  In all cases, the file should be named simply NEdit.

No additional installation or resource settings are necessary on IRIX systems
before 6.3

Using SGI Schemes for Coloring:

The suggestions below are for users who want to tailor NEdit to have the "SGI
Look", and allow the colors to be set using color schemes.

To turn on sgi-mode and color NEdit according to the current color scheme,
set the following resources:

   nedit*sgiMode: true
   nedit*useSchemes: all

sgiMode also adds extra margin width to pushButtons, making NEdit's Replace
dialog, with its closely packed buttons, look slightly strange; so if you're
going to use NEdit in sgiMode, the following resource setting is also strongly
suggested:

   nedit*replaceDialog*XmPushButton.marginWidth: 2

By including some additional resources, you can make the NEdit text widget
(the main text area of an NEdit window) participate in the color schemes as
well.  The following set of resource settings (contributed by David Cortesi
of SGI) color the text area of the NEdit window according to the current
scheme:

!--------------------------------------------------------------------------
! The following two lines cause Nedit to use the current scheme colors
! for all widgets including buttons, menus, check-boxes, and WM things
! such as scroll bars.
nedit*sgiMode:                                  true
nedit*useSchemes:                               all
! The following lines cause Nedit to additionally use the current scheme
! for editable text background and foreground, both normal and selected.
nedit*text.foreground:          SGI_DYNAMIC TextForeground
nedit*text.background:          SGI_DYNAMIC TextBackground
nedit*text.selectForeground:    SGI_DYNAMIC TextSelectedForeground
nedit*text.selectBackground:    SGI_DYNAMIC TextSelectedBackground
! The following cause Nedit to display a flashing paren or bracket
! in text color on an orange background, the shade of orange being
! selected through the scheme in effect.  Could also use RedColor
! or DrawingAreaContrastColor1 here.
nedit*text.highlightForeground: SGI_DYNAMIC TextForeground
nedit*text.highlightBackground: SGI_DYNAMIC OrangeColor
! The following line sets the color of the text cursor.  Since it is
! only a hairline, the text foreground color is fine for this use.
! However, one could also use PurpleColor or hilightColor1.
nedit*text.cursorForeground:    SGI_DYNAMIC TextForeground
