Hi,

  I am writing an EDT emulation mode for my JED editor.  Before I blindly go
about it, I thought that it would be a good idea to get some feedback from
users of other editors that provide such a mode and see what their comments
and criticisms are.

  I will try to emulate the Application keypad functions (right down to the
GOLD key-number to cause repeations).  However, there will be some
differences.  For example, I do not like the way FIND and SUBS work.  I see no
reason to have the user insert the search string into the buffer, only to yank
it back out to the paste buffer destroying what is there.  This really sounds
like a kludge to me which I do not want to duplicate.  What do EDT users
think?

  If you are already using JED on unix and want this new mode, you will have
to get a new version of JED.  However, you will have to wait about a week
because I have not released it yet and will not until I get feedback on how
the EDT emulation should behave.  (A new executable is needed because the
EDT mode has required a new intrinsic function for the S-Lang language)

Thanks,
