Not deliberately misleading, but it is false.  Send a correction to the address
that is probably in the back or mail me the address or phone # and I will.
The writer meant dxnotepad.  You'd be surprised how many people who write
these things call some supposed expert and then use whatever they say
as gospel.  

Again, I am 100% sure it was not meant to mislead.  The writer made a 
mistake and meant dxnotepad which has similar functionality to xedit.
(It of course is not a DECwindows version of EMACS at all... that is
another story... but it does have EMACS-like commands.  GNU Emacs is
and X-based EMACS-like editor :-).
