In GNU Emacs version 18.52, at least, the mode that emulates VMS EDT seems to be broken. After doing M-x edt-emulation-on, all of the single-key commands work OK, as do all of the GOLD-x commands where x comes in as a single ASCII character. What doesn't work is GOLD-y where y is an escape sequence. E.g., keypad "5" comes in as ESC-O-u. Keypad "5" by itself correctly sets "backup mode". GOLD-5 is supposed to jump to the beginning of the file. But what happens is that GNU Emacs accepts the ESC-O-P prefix (GOLD), stops looking on the second ESC and says it doesn't know what ESC O P ESC means, then injects "Ou" into the file. I do not have earlier versions to see if they did the same thing. The problem is system- independent; I get the same results under Ultrix, Dynix, and VMS. Anybody with ideas on how to fix this, please respond by e-mail to rik@cs.washington.edu Thanks, --Rik
