Dwaine,

I use SEDT, written by Anker Berg-Sonne.  It's terrific!  There are versions
for MS-DOS (PC, XT, AT, PS/2, compatibles), CP/M, and VAX/VMS.  It understands
many different keyboards, is well documented, has a WPS+ emulator, and is a
superset of EDT.  Some neat features are:

	o  unlimited file size
	o  unlimited paste buffer size
	o  can edit upto 4 files simultaneously
	o  supports 2 simultaneous windows
	o  fully programmable keyboard layout
	o  horizontal scrolling
	o  identical interface across supported systems
	o  command language (not like EDT's, though)

I was given my copy (and then registered it), so I don't know how to get
a copy other than to write the author.  Here's the address he gives:

		Anker Berg-Sonne
		8 Middlemost Way
		Stow, MA 01775

It's a great product, and I highly recommend it.  I have no connection
with the author or the product.  I'm just a very satisfied user.
In the interest of knowledge, there is a another product:

		EDT+ Version 4.0
		Boston Business Computing, LTD.
		Riverwalk Center
		360 Merrimack Street
		Lawrence, MA 01843
		(617) 683-7920

I can't speak for the capabilities of EDT+ 4.0 (I've never used it).
Good luck in your search.  Please post your experiences or e-mail to
me.  I'm curious as to what you decide to do.

George
