EDT does have multiple buffers.  I use the select range feature for a lot
more than marking things I'm going to delete - it's used for cut/paste
and changing case of the range as well.  For those who have learned EDT
and want to use TPU without learning the EVE keypad definitions, it is 
possible to redefine the keypad.  Personally, I prefer using the keypad to
using keyboard characters as in vi because I'm a lousy typist using terminals
that are too stiff for me to type fast.  But since my only real option at
work is SPF (on an IBM 3090) which has exactly one nice feature (the split
screen capability) I'll take EDT any day.
