NAME
        mp-5 - Minimum Profit Editor, a text editor for programmers

SYNOPSIS
        mp-5 [options] [+NNN] [file [file...]]

DESCRIPTION
       Minimum Profit (mp) is a text editor for programmers. Among its
       features are the following:

           o   Fully scriptable using a C-like scripting language.

           o   Unlimited undo levels.

           o   Complete Unicode support.

           o   Multiple files can be edited at the same time and blocks copied
               and pasted among them.

           o   Syntax highlighting for many popular languages / file formats:
               C, C++, Perl, Shell Scripts, Ruby, Php, Python, HTML...

           o   Creative use of tags: tags created by the external utility
               ctags are used to move instantaneously to functions or
               variables inside your current source tree. Tags are visually
               highlighted (underlined), and symbol completion can be
               triggered to avoid typing your own function names over and
               over.

           o   Intelligent help system: pressing F1 over any word of a text
               being edited triggers the underlying system help (calling man
               when editing C or Shell files, perldoc with Perl, ri on Ruby,
               winhelp on MS Windows...).

           o   Understandable interface: drop-down menus, reasonable default
               key bindings.

           o   Configurable keys, menus and colors.

           o   Text templates can be easily defined / accessed.

           o   Multiplatform: Console/curses, Qt4, GTK+, KDE4, MS Windows.

           o   Automatic indentation, word wrapping, internal grep, learning /
               repeating functions.

           o   Spellchecking support (via the ispell package).

           o   Multilingual.

           o   Password-protected, encrypted text files (using the ARCFOUR
               algorithm).

           o   It helps you abandon vi, emacs and other six-legged freaks
               definitely.

       The following options are avaiable:

       -t tag Edits the file where tag is defined (see ctags(1)).

MPSL
       MPSL (Minimum Profit Scripting Language) is a powerful programming
       language embedded in the Minimum Profit Text Editor (a huge part of the
       editor itself is written in MPSL). Its features are too large to be
       inserted here; please read the documentation.
