NAME
       formsedit - user interface builder for FormsVBT

SYNTAX
       formsedit [-options] [file]

DESCRIPTION
       formsedit  is  a  user-interface builder for FormsVBT. The program sup-
       ports a text view ("editor") and a  result  view.   The  editor's  user
       interface should be self-explanatory.

OPTIONS
       -d[isplay]
              This  sets  the X "display" parameter for the editor window. The
              syntax is
                          <name> :[:] <display> [ . <screen>]
                      where
                          <name> is any string not containing ":"
                          <display> and <screen> are cardinals.
                      (Blanks are not allowed.  They're  used  here  just  for
              clarity.)
                      Two colons indicate DECnet.
                      Example:
                          :0.0

                          myrtle.pa.dec.com:0.1
                      The  default is taken from the DISPLAY environment vari-
              able.
