+==============================================================================
+
+1. General *qnx-general*
+
+Vim on QNX behaves much like other unix versions. |os_unix.txt|
+
+
+2. Compiling Vim *qnx-compiling*
+
+Vim can be compiled using the standard configure/make approach. If you want to
+compile for X11, pass the --with-x option to configure. Otherwise, running
+./configure without any arguments or passing --enable-gui=photon, will compile
+vim with the Photon gui support. Run ./configure --help , to find out other
+features you can enable/disable.
+
+
+3. Terminal support *qnx-terminal*
+
+Vim has support for the mouse and clipboard in a pterm, if those options
+are compiled in, which they are normally.
+
+The options that affect mouse support are |'mouse'| and |'ttymouse'|. When
+using the mouse, only simple left and right mouse clicking/dragging is
+supported. If you hold down shift, ctrl, or alt while using the mouse, pterm
+will handle the mouse itself. It will make a selection, separate from what
+vim's doing.
+
+When the mouse is in use, you can press Alt-RightMouse to open the pterm menu.
+To turn the mouse off in vim, set the mouse option to nothing, set mouse=
+
+
+4. Photon GUI *photon-gui*
+
+To start the gui for vim, you need to run either gvim or vim -g, otherwise
+the terminal version will run. For more info - |gui-x11-start|
+
+Supported features:
+ :browse command |:browse|
+ :confirm command |:confirm|
+ Cursor blinking |'guicursor'|
+ Menus, popup menus and menu priorities |:menu|
+ |popup-menu|
+ |menu-priority|
+ Toolbar |gui-toolbar|
+ |'toolbar'|
+ Font selector (:set guifont=*) |photon-fonts|
+ Mouse focus |'mousefocus'|
+ Mouse hide |'mousehide'|
+ Mouse cursor shapes |'mouseshape'|
+ Clipboard |gui-clipboard|
+
+Unfinished features:
+ Various international support, such as Farsi & Hebrew support,
+ different encodings, etc.
+
+ This help file
+
+Unsupported features:
+ Find & Replace window |:promptfind|
+ Tearoff menus
+
+ Other things which I can't think of so I can't list them
+
+
+5. Fonts *photon-fonts*
+
+You set fonts in the gui with the guifont option >
+ :set guifont=Lucida\ Terminal
+<
+The font must be a monospace font, and any spaces in the font name must be
+escaped with a '\'. The default font used is PC Terminal, size 8. Using
+'*' as the font name will open a standard Photon font selector where you can
+select a font.
+
+Following the name, you can include optional settings to control the size and
+style of the font, each setting separated by a ':'. Not all fonts support the
+various styles.
+
+The options are,
+ s{size} Set the size of the font to {size}
+ b Bold style
+ a Use antialiasing
+ i Italic style
+
+Examples:
+
+Set the font to monospace size 10 with antialiasing >
+ :set guifont=monospace:s10:a
+<
+Set the font to Courier size 12, with bold and italics >
+ :set guifont=Courier:s12:b:i
+<
+Select a font with the requester >
+ :set guifont=*
+<
+
+
+6. Bugs & things To Do
+
+Known problems:
+ - Vim hangs sometimes when running an external program. Workaround:
+ put this line in your |vimrc| file: >
+ set noguipty
+
+Bugs:
+ - Still a slight problem with menu highlighting.
+ - When using phditto/phinows/etc., if you are using a font that
+ doesn't support the bold attribute, when vim attempts to draw
+ bold text it will be all messed up.
+ - The cursor can sometimes be hard to see.
+ - A number of minor problems that can fixed. :)
+
+Todo:
+ - Improve multi-language support.
+ - Options for setting the fonts used in the menu and toolbar.
+ - Find & Replace dialog.
+ - The clientserver features.
+ - Maybe tearoff menus.
+
+ - Replace usage of fork() with spawn() when launching external
+ programs.
