  I know of people putting a set of EDT commands in a file and using

    EDIT/EDT/COMMAND=...

It seemed to work quite well. Unfortunately, EDT is pretty dumb, and won't
accept wildcard file soecs either.
  The latter, I can help with. I have written a command procedure called
'FORALL' which allows commands like

	FORALL filespec EDIT/edt/command... 
or
	FORALL filespec whatever...

The nice thing is that it adds wildcard filespec capability to any command, 
and since it uses DIRECTORY to do the lookup, allows all the whizzier 
switches.

  If your want it, holler.
