EVE SET_KEYPAD_EDT — VMS 5.5

 SET KEYPAD EDT

 Enables the EDT-style keypad, defining the numeric keypad and other keys.

 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | For a keypad diagram, press HELP or with the EDT keypad, press PF2.  |
 |                                                                      |
 | For a list of key definitions, see help on Keys or press GOLD-HELP   |
 | or with the EDT keypad, press GOLD-PF2.                              |
 |                                                                      |
 | For more information on the EDT keypad, see help on EDT Differences. |

 Usage notes:

 o  The EDT keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current
    definition of PF1.  However, if you set a different key as GOLD, the
    EDT keypad uses your GOLD key without redefining PF1.

 o  Setting the EDT keypad defines EVE's default GOLD key sequences, such
    as GOLD-F13, GOLD-HELP, and GOLD-FIND.  See help on Gold Keys.

 o  If you define keys that EDT ordinarily defines, such as CTRL/U, PF4, or
    GOLD-KP8, your definitions override the EDT definitions.

 o  To save the EDT keypad for future editing sessions, use SAVE EXTENDED
    EVE to create a section file.  Alternatively, put SET KEYPAD EDT in an
    initialization file (typically, EVE$INIT.EVE).

 o  The EDT keypad redefines some EVE default keys---in particular the
    following.  Learn sequences created before you set the EDT keypad may
    not "replay" properly, because the key definitions are now different.
