The question of VMS SCRFT/SCRSHR and EDT came up at DECUS.  There is a problem
with the SCRFT.MAR distributed with 3.0 as it does not contain a couple of new
entry points added with that release.  The correct source code will be on a 
future minor release (probably 3.2 but I do not want to dig into my DECUS notes
right now.)  The rather strong suggestion that EDT use SCRFT/SCRSHR was 
positively "noted" but is very unlikely to be implemented before VMS 4.0,
although it is a slightly easier to make the change than to write a completely 
new editor.  One thing which will be comming out of this DECUS is some feedback
for DEC on Foreign Terminal support in VMS.  The VAX SIG Foreign Terminal
(Support) Working Group should be being pulled together now to deal with this
problem.
