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.
