You can get a toolbar in emacs. Just type:
Meta-x tool-bar-mode
If you don't have a Meta key, try Alt instead. Or Escape.
/pavel

Hi Torsten,

Thanks for the help.

One thing that attracted me to XEmacs (rather than Emacs) is that is has
a toolbar, which for a non-Emacs person is very helpful.

I currently have GNU-Emacs 21.3.1 installed so I can use that.

Cheers,

Chris

Dear Chris,

If XEmacs doesn't work after setting OZEMACS correctly than this may be a bug. [Side Note: The problem may have to do with the fact that most Oz programmers are UNIX-based and perhaps no-one is using Oz on Windows via XEmacs. At least this is probably the reason why you didn't get any more specific reply.]

As a quick solution I suggest you give GNU-Emacs a try. However, you shouldn't install the GNU-Emacs available at the Mozart page (that version is long obsolete, unfortunately). Instead, please visit

    http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html

I'd prefer to use Xemacs as it seems a bit more accessible for a non-Emacs person like me.


GNU-Emacs has mouse support, menus, bottoms etc as well. I can not see why XEmacs should in principle be more easy to use as an Oz IDE.

For your first steps with Emacs I suggest you just use the file menu, cursor keys and mouse. The short-cuts for commands you access via the menu are shown in the menu as well (they are only very different to most other applications). Feel free to ask if you run into problems. Besides, there is much documentation available on Emacs, e.g.,

    http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html#Help
    http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki


Nevertheless, I try to point you at some internal details if you really want to have XEmacs for Mozart on Windows.

Yes, I tried setting the Environment Variable to the full path to XEmacs.


BTW: this is described briefly at

    http://www.mozart-oz.org/documentation/install/node1.html#label2

Emacs starts properly (with an Oz menu, etc.) however this menu isn't
present when XEmacs starts. Does something get passed to the editor when
it starts?


Looking at the oz startup script (i.e. the script called when I enter 'oz' at the UNIX shell) it shows that GNU-Emacs and XEmacs are started with different arguments. Perhaps you can look at the corresponding Windows script (not on my machine..) and confirm XEmacs is started properly as set in the script.


GNU Emacs
            exec $OZEMACS -L "$OZHOME/share/elisp" -l oz.elc -f run-oz "$@"


XEmacs:

        exec $OZEMACS \
--eval '(setq load-path (cons "'$OZHOME'/share/elisp" load-path))' \
            -l oz.elc -f run-oz "$@"


No idea whether this information helps you, though...

Best,
Torsten
