-You might want to have a look at ${PREFIX}/share/jed/lib/* and
-install a file defaults.sl for site defaults there.
+Optional but highly recommended: preparse the S-Lang files. This
+is done by running JED as:
+
+# (cd ${PREFIX}/share/jed/lib; jed -batch -n -l preparse.sl)
+
+This creates pre-parsed *.slc files that load quicker than *.sl
+files. Note that the bytecodes that are stored in the preparsed
+files (*.slc) may depend upon the version of the slang library that
+was used. This is particularly relevant if jed is dynamically
+linked to the slang library and for some reason you upgrade the
+library. If you do this, then immediately after installing a new
+version of the slang library, run the command 'touch *.sl' on all
+the .sl files in the ${PREFIX}/share/jed/lib/lib directory.
