    The EDT emulation that comes with EMACS is incomplete.  There are much
    better EDT emulators for EMACS in the EMACS lisp archives (mentioned
    below).  Here's the blurb on the one I wrote.


    **  Introducing TPU-edt -- emacs emulating TPU emulating EDT  **

    TPU-edt features the following TPU/edt functionality:

     .  EDT keypad
     .  Repeat counts
     .  Learn sequences
     .  Multiple windows and buffers
     .  On-line help
     .  TPU line-mode REPLACE command
     .  Rectangular cut and paste
     .  Wild card search and substitution
     .  Configurable through an initialization file

    TPU-edt works on any VT-series compatible terminal or emulator, is
    easy to install and use, and even  comes with an UNDO function not
    available in TPU.  Try  TPU-edt today.  We think you'll agree that
    it does a lot better TPU/edt emulation than vi does!

    Please note that TPU-edt does NOT emulate TPU.   It emulates TPU's
    EDT emulation.  Very few TPU line-mode commands are supported.

    TPU-edt  is  available  from  the elisp  archives.  They  are  are
    accessible via anonymous ftp from

        archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive

    TPU-edt is in the modes subdirectory with the name tpu-edt.tar.Z.
