    NAME
           edit - attempts to open editable files in an appropriate application.

    SYNOPSIS
           edit [ -RfSsqrh ] [ file ]

    DESCRIPTION
           edit  -  attempts to open editable files in an appropriate application.
           Default values for an ASCII text editor  (eg:  SubEthaEdit),  an  image
           editor  (eg:  Adobe  Photoshop),  a  postscript display (eg: Preview in
           10.3.x works), a PDF display (eg: Preview), and a WYSIWYG  HTML  editor
           (eg:  Mozilla  composer,  a  free alternative to DreamCrusher), are set
           using  the  function  my_prefs_edit  which  is  called  if   the   file
           .zsh/my_edit_rc does not exist in the user's home directory.  This file can
           also be edited by hand and is read (and is required) by  the  functions
           hydra and nonasciiedit as well.

           The  functions  hydra  and  nonasciiedit, as well as my_prefs_edit, are
           stand-alone functions and are imported by  this  function  (edit)  that
           serves as a wrapper and augments a few features.

    OPTIONS
           -R     deletes  the  preferences  file The user is then prompted to set
                  new preferences next time edit is invoked.

           -f foo Forces the file foo to be opened with  the  default  ascii  text
                  editor application

           -S     Turns on a most delightful speakable dialogue.

           -s     Use sudo edit to open a file (presumably owned by the system).

           -q bar Turn off spoken and most written dialogue.

           -r foo Attempts to refocus to terminal window after opening file in gui
                  editor.

           -h     Obtain program help info.

    FILES
           ~/.my_edit_rc
                  A preferences file most easily created by invoking edit and fol-
                  lowing the prompts.  The user is asked to choose a default ascii
                  editor (like SubEthaEdit or BBedit), an image editor (like Adobe
                  Photoshop), a PDF viewer (like Preview) and so on.  You can also
                  invoke the function my_prefs_edit to create this  file,  or  you
                  can  create  it  manually. See my_prefs_edit(7) and hydra(7) and
                  nonasciiedit(7) for further details.
           hydra my_prefs_edit nonasciiedit edit
                  are all zsh functions that must be in the $fpath array  for  the
                  edit command to work properly.
