+
+Fe has no configuration or extension language and requires no setup.
+Its user interface is emacs-like and it has menues for the very most
+important functions to help beginners.  Further there is a reference
+card.  It offers:

+@item Keyboard macros
+@item Editing binary files
+@item Multiple windows and views
