Yeah,
fond memories of a totally reliable system.
Anyone
heard of a means of making emacs emulate this editor? I believe it has been done.

WAS an editor? WAS????? Some of us still use it! Well, I have migrated to the EVE editor built on TPU, but it still has the same wonderful functionality of the original in addition to a programmable interface (wrote some sweet sweet TPU back in the day). The KB I'm typing this on is an LK450, complete with the WORD-11 (MASS-11) keycaps and all the GOLD keydefs. Yes, your recollection of KP keys 0, 4, and 5 are correct. Remember the vi-like substitution command? Sorry, Jared, for the OT. I MISS VMS! Stability, performance, security. No wonder it didn't sell.

Wasn't 4 Forward and 5 Back? I've CC'ed Michael M�ller, who writes DSI (Data Server Internals) classes in Oracle Development. He taught me all I ever needed to know about the EDT editor on VAX/VMS. He really should be able to remember all those wonderful keys. Yes, it was a fantastic editor, by the way.Ah yes - too true.

I don't have a computer to attach it to, but I have good memories of KED and PF1 (Gold) key. KP-6 was "cut" GOLD-KP-6 was paste, PF2 was "help" and PF3 was "Search". The best editor ever!
