.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBne\fR is a free text editor that runs on (hopefully almost) any UN*X
machine.  \fBne\fR is easy to use for the beginner, but powerful and fully
configurable for the wizard, and most sparing in its resource usage.

This documentation is incomplete.  The Texinfo/info/HTML/PDF documentation is the
authoritative source (try \fBinfo ne\fR or \fBinfo \-f ne\fR).
