Bill -You'd given me one (char, sel, word, chgcs) which, sadly, I misplaced. (At the time, we were on RSTS 8.0-06 and it didn't work anyway.) Well, we're now up on 9.7-08 and, lo & behold, we got EDT 3.1 and VT220 support and other nifty stuff (hallelujah). So — if you would be so kind — could you repost that key def? (We don't have docs yet that are worth much.) Also — there's a message from my sysop (actually under my PPN) that might pose a challenge. Thanks much!!

Paul, Your message is a little garbled. I remember putting some kind of EDT key def'n together for you at one point but I don't remember what it was. Unfortunately I'm farther away from using EDT now (I use it maybe once or twice a month, since I use EVE on the VAX now primarily) and it would take me a while to reconstruct it (assuming I knew what "it" was… you're gonna have to refresh me, I can't tell from your message). It will be at least a couple of weeks before I can get to it… this is the "busy season" for me. Sorry… I don't think RSTS 10 is a "big surprise" because it's been rumored and pre-announced and the like for, oh, a year now maybe?! But, I could well be wrong. If that's DEC's definition of a big surprise, then I guess that says something in itself, eh? 🙂 -Bill

There are v10 seminars listed in the DECUS Symposia guide for NO. Bob

Bill, O I C — I uploaded a message asking how to construct an EDTINI key def, but now that I see it, the UL didn't work too good (argh). 'Sokay — just that I seem to recall your saying that "any key def typed on the command line (line edit mode) will work" in EDTINI. (I haven't had a chance to try it out.) No hurry — our sysop is ordering some *real* manuals at last, so that oughta do it.
