+;; Reply-To: [e-mail] (Mike Clarkson )
+;; Organization: York University Computer Science
+;; 
+;; Here's my EDT emulation for GNU Emacs that is based on the EDT emulation
+;; for Gosling's Emacs sent out on the net a couple of years ago by Lynn Olson
+;; at Tektronics.  This emulation was widely distributed as the file edt.ml
+;; in the maclib directory of most Emacs distributions.
+;;      
+;; My emulation consists of two files: edt.el and edtdoc.el.  The edtdoc.el
+;; file is the documentation, that you can add to the beginning of edt.el if
+;; you want.  I have split them because I have been loading the edt.el file a
+;; lot during debugging.
+;;      
+;; I will gladly take all criticisms and complaints to heart, and will fix what
+;; bugs I can find.  As this is my first elisp hack, you may have to root out a
+;; few nasties hidden in the code.  Please let me know if you find any (sorry,
+;; no rewards :-).  I would also be interested if there are better, cleaner,
+;; faster ways of doing some of the things that I have done.
+;;      
+;; You must understand some design considerations that I had in mind.
+;; The intention was not really to "emulate" EDT, but rather to take advantage
+;; of the years of EDT experience that had accumulated in my right hand,
+;; while at the same time taking advantage of EMACS.
+;;      
+;; Some major differences are:
+;;      
+;; HELP            is describe-key;
+;; GOLD/HELP       is describe-function;
+;; FIND            is isearch-forward/backward;
+;; GOLD/HELP       is occur-menu, which finds all instances of a search string;
+;; ENTER           is other-window;
+;; SUBS            is subprocess-command.  Note that you have to change this
+;;                 to `shell' if you are running Un*x;
+;; PAGE            is next-paragraph, because that's more useful than page.
+;; SPECINS         is copy-to-killring;
+;; GOLD/GOLD       is mark-section-wisely, which is my command to mark the
+;;                 section in a manner consistent with the major-mode.  It
+;;                 uses mark-defun for emacs-lisp, lisp, mark-c-function for C,
+;;                 and mark-paragraph for other modes.
+;;      
+;;      
+;; Some subtle differences are:
+;;      
+;; APPEND          is append-to-buffer.  One doesn't append to the kill ring
+;;                 much and SPECINS is now copy-to-killring;
+;; REPLACE         is replace-regexp;
+;; FILL            is fill-region-wisely, which uses indent-region for C, lisp
+;;                 emacs-lisp, and fill-region for others. It asks if you
+;;                 really want to fill-region in TeX-mode, because I find this
+;;                 to be very dangerous.
+;; CHNGCASE        is case-flip for the character under the cursor only.
+;;                 I felt that case-flip region is unlikely, as usually you
+;;                 upcase-region or downcase region.  Also, unlike EDT it
+;;                 is independent of the direction you are going, as that
+;;                 drives me nuts.
+;;      
+;; I use Emacs definition of what a word is.  This is considerably different
+;; from what EDT thinks a word is.  This is not good for dyed-in-the-wool EDT
+;; fans, but is probably preferable for experienced Emacs users.  My assumption
+;; is that the former are a dying breed now that GNU Emacs has made it to VMS,
+;; but let me know how you feel.  Also, when you undelete a word it leave the
+;; point at the end of the undeleted text, rather than the beginning.  I might
+;; change this as I'm not sure if I like this or not. I'm also not sure if I
+;; want it to set the mark each time you delete a character or word.
+;;      
+;; Backspace does not invoke beginning-of-line, because ^H is the help prefix,
+;; and I felt it should be left as such.  You can change this if you like.
+;;      
+;; The ADVANCE and BACKUP keys do not work as terminators for forward or
+;; backward searches. In Emacs, all search strings are terminated by return.
+;; The searches will however go forward or backward depending on your current
+;; direction.  Also, when you change directions, the mode line will not be
+;; updated immediately, but only when you next execute an emacs function.
+;; Personally, I consider this to be a bug, not a feature.
+;;      
+;; This should also work with VT-2xx's, though I haven't tested it extensively
+;; on those terminals.  It assumes that the CSI-map of vt_200.el has been
+;; defined.
+;;      
+;; There are also a whole bunch of GOLD letter, and GOLD character bindings:
+;; look at edtdoc.el for them, or better still, look at the edt.el lisp code,
+;; because after all, in the true Lisp tradition, the source code is *assumed*
+;; to be self-documenting :-)
