/sys$common/syshlp/EVE$KEYHELP.HLB  —  Character
  EDT Character

  Moves the cursor a character at a time in the current direction.

  The effect is similar to using MOVE RIGHT or MOVE LEFT (or pressing the
  right and left arrows) except the cursor is bound to the flow or shape of
  your text, even if your setting is free cursor.

  Steps:

     1.  To set the direction, use FORWARD (KP4) or REVERSE (KP5).

     2.  Press the EDT Character key (KP3).

  Usage notes:

  o  In forward direction, moves right one character or, if there is no next
     character, to the start of the next line.

  o  In reverse direction, moves left one character or, if there is no
     previous character, to the end of the previous line.

  o  For continuous movement, you can hold down or repeat KP3 until you
     reach the bottom or top of the buffer.
