Sorry, Dan, I'm not trying to flame on you, but for all those to whom EDT is still "just a little" arcane: Before you all run out to do this, stop to think that the standard EDT definition for "CONTROL L" is "12asc.". This is because control-L is the formfeed character. Why define F to do what L does already? It might be more prudent to leave control-L as is, and redefine CONTROL-J (the linefeed character) instead. It normally defaults to "DBW.", but perhaps you don't use that?
