Hi people!

It is very interesting to read all of this staff about vi :: EDT. But let us
do something reasonable. Let us try to enforce vi to behave as EDT on UNIX and
EDT to be as vi on VMS. Can we? At the end we will really find out which is
"better". At last, but not at least we will have a practical result which will
be usable for all of us on UNIX and VMS for vi and EDT people. This is of
cource only a preposition.

PS: By the way let us assume to have some DEC compatible (if you would like
ANSI) terminal with a keypad as VT1xx has it.
