  Usage notes:

  o  Setting the EDT keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current
     definition of PF1. However, if you set a different key as GOLD, the EDT
     keypad uses your GOLD key without redefining PF1.

  o  The EDT keypad also defines the EVE default GOLD key sequences
     (sometimes called "sleeper" keys) such as GOLD-F13, GOLD-HELP, and
     GOLD-FIND. See help on Gold Keys.

  o  If you define keys that EDT ordinarily defines, such as CTRL/U, PF4, or
     GOLD-KP8, your definitions override the EDT definitions.

  o  The EDT keypad redefines some EVE default keys---in particular the
     following. Learn sequences created before you enabled the EDT keypad
     may not replay properly because some keys are now redefined.

        Keys                       Definitions with SET KEYPAD EDT
        ----------------------------------------------------------
        CTRL/H or BACKSPACE ...... EDT Backspace (start of line)
        CTRL/J or LINEFEED ....... EDT Delete Previous Word
        CTRL/U ................... EDT Delete Start Of Line
        F12 ...................... EDT Start Of Line
        F13 ...................... EDT Delete Previous Word
        NEXT SCREEN .............. EDT Next Screen
        PREV SCREEN .............. EDT Previous Screen
        PF4 .......................EDT Delete Line
        ENTER .................... RETURN

  o  To keep the EDT keypad for future editing sessions, do any of the
     following:

     *  Use SAVE EXTENDED EVE to create a section file which saves your key
        definitions in binary form---in effect, your own customized version
        of EVE. See help on Section Files.

     *  Put SET KEYPAD EDT in an initialization file (typically named
        EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.

     *  Put EVE_SET_KEYPAD_EDT; in your command file (typically named
        TPU$COMMAND.TPU). See help on Command Files.

     *  On VMS define the EVE$KEYPAD logical name to be EDT. Other valid
        names are EVE, NUMERIC, VT100, and WPS. If you do not define the
        logical name, the keypad defaults to EVE which gives the VT100
        keypad on VT100 terminals or the numeric keypad on VT200 and later
        terminals. This logical name is useful if you want to use the same
        keypad for all editing sessions. This logical name overrides any
        keypad setting saved in a section file. You can override the effect
        of this logical name by setting the keypad in your initialization
        file or in your command file.

     For more information, see help on EDT Conversion.

  o  You can use EDT key functions without having to enable the EDT keypad.
     For example, the following command defines GOLD-REMOVE (on the mini
     keypad) as the EDT Append key (KP9):

        Command: DEFINE KEY= gold-remove  edt kp9
