	Hopefully this won't start up another round of "Emacs is better
than vi.  No it's not!  Yes it is!  Oh yeah?  Well, your mother wears army
boots!".  Without publicly stating an opinion as to which editor is better,
I would like to point out that it is possible to make emacs behave like
EDT.  CCA emacs, for example (and this is *not* an ad for CCA), comes with
a set of key definitions which sort-of emulates EDT.  I suspect other emacs
have similar emulation packages available.  As I understand it, there are
certain fundemental difference between emacs and EDT that make is almost
impossible to do a perfect emulation.  I personally have never used EDT, so
I can comment further on that.

	As a prophylactic measure, may I respectfully request that if you
have no useful information to add to this discussion, you don't say
anything.  We've had more than enough of the Unix/VMS, emacs/vi and
troff/tex/scribe wars to last a lifetime.  Personally, I prefer SOS and
Runoff on TOPS-10 :-)
