Ever came across a reference to EDTINI.EDT and EDIT/command=xxx.yyy in your
EDT manual? When EDT starts up, it reads from this file any definitions you
have for keys etc, and you can include a SET MODE SCREEN to make EDT "jump"
into the full screen mode. I think it will also look for a logical symbol,
but its been a while since I really use a VMS system (got stuck mostly on
an Ultrix system these days (8-(  ).
