Thanks for the tips. I've installed both now but the trouble is I cannot 
find them. The commands fte-console or fte-terminal do nothing and neither 
do man or info with either name come up with anything useful. I used the 
locate command and found some docs in usr/share but only a readme file.

So where is the full manual and how to run these apps in the first place?
Most links and pages I was able to Google about these editors were down. 
ALthough it seems the the fte foldable text editors have been available for 
multiple  platforms and some people have reviewed them favorably.

Any help appreciated.
I wonder if the author's e-mail address is valid. I might try that too, at 
some point.
