	I once had a set of macros for Matt Dillon's DME which came
close to EDT. It wasn't close enough for me, however, because DME
doesn't do block select, cut, and paste quite right for EDT. (A humble
suggestion to Matt Dillon: How about block select on character
boundaries?)

	I've got a totally hacked version of MicroGnuEmacs which now
supports an EDT-like keypad; only problem is, I've only
implemented a Unix V5.3 version. Certainly an Amiga port is possible,
but since I've gotten used to Cygnus ED on the Amiga, I'm not terribly
motivated to port it.
