In case you don't have an environment variable called NEDIT_HOME (probable,
given that you're asking this question), NEdit will use your home directory.
Most likely, you'll find a directory called .nedit there. If not, maybe other
files starting with .nedit - which means you have an older version of NEdit.
The leading dot hides these files. Use "cd; ls -a" to go to then list all
files in your home directory. Alternatively, use "echo $NEDIT_HOME" to see if
you have such a variable set up. (Your own home directory's path can be found
in the variable $HOME - use echo again to see its value.)

As for other NEdit settings (the X rersources that control things like your
menu font and window frame color, and sometimes extend keyboard and mouse
effects), those can be tricky to find. Check out this page:
