How to use FCKEditor

To continue with my mini JavaScript-text-editor kick, I moved on to FCKEditor.
FCKEditor is another very popular JavaScript text editor.  (Since I first started playing with it, FCKEditor got reborn in its 3.0 version, now known as CKEditor.  Not sure why the ‘F’ was dropped. Perhaps, as the result of too many off-color jokes.)
