Subject: EDT emulation broken in 18.52

In GNU Emacs version 18.52, at least, the mode that emulates VMS EDT seems
to be broken.  After doing M-x edt-emulation-on, all of the single-key
commands work OK, as do all of the GOLD-x commands where x comes in as a
single ASCII character.  What doesn't work is GOLD-y where y is an escape
sequence.  E.g., keypad "5" comes in as ESC-O-u.  Keypad "5" by itself
correctly sets "backup mode".  GOLD-5 is supposed to jump to the beginning
of the file.  But what happens is that GNU Emacs accepts the ESC-O-P prefix
(GOLD), stops looking on the second ESC and says it doesn't know what
ESC O P ESC means, then injects "Ou" into the file.  I do not have earlier
versions to see if they did the same thing.  The problem is system- 
independent; I get the same results under Ultrix, Dynix, and VMS.

Anybody with ideas on how to fix this, please respond by e-mail to
