There are a couple of undocumented ways to change the behavior of the
MPW Editor.

If you set the shell variable NewKeyBoardLayout to 1, the clear key will
function as it did previously. This will also change the behavior of 
command-delete so that it deletes to end of line instead of end of file.
To delete to end of file, you need to use command-option-delete.

There is also a way to change the individual key bindings. The command name is
BindKey, and it has a commando so you can figure out how to use it.

To make the editor so that you can Cut and Paste text without losing markers, 
set the shell variable InhibitMarkCopy to 0.

These are undocumented features that are likely to disappear in future
releases. They are untested and are not supported by Apple.

Hope this helps,
