SET KEYPAD EDT
Enables the EDT-style keypad, defining the numeric keypad and other keys.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| For a keypad diagram, press HELP or with the EDT keypad, press PF2. |
| |
| For a list of key definitions, see help on Keys or press GOLD-HELP |
| or with the EDT keypad, press GOLD-PF2. |
| |
| For more information on the EDT keypad, see help on EDT Differences. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
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.

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
