I have written some macros for vi that "sorta" emulate EDT. It did not "select" text or handle the direction concept of EDT, but it does provide a way for EDT users to learn vi. I only have a hard copy of the macros so I won't post them unless someone asks. I also haven't used them in 5 years. -- Bruce G. Barnett a.k.a. uunet!steinmetz!barnett,
