	EDTMACRO is a macro for the EDT editor which supports the GenRad
keypad and control key definitions.  To use it, include "@SR:[TOOLS]MISC"
followed by "@VMSTOOLS:EDTMACRO" in your login.com.

	EDTMACRO depends on MISC.COM, for the definition of the logical names
VMSTOOLS and HD.

	The following commands can be used to invoke the editor:

	"EDT filespec"	edit the specified file
	"EDT"		edit the most recently edited file.
	"LE filespec"	look at but don't modify the specified file.

	In addition, the following commands set the width of a vt100 terminal
screen to 132 or 80 characters in such a way that EDT knows about it.

	"WW"		Set the terminal to 'wide' mode.
	"RR"		Set the terminal to 'regular' mode.

	Once in the editor, help can be obtained in two ways:

	PF4	(i.e. press the button in the top right hand corner of the
		 keypad).

		This displays up to two pages of help text.  One advantage of
		this display is that it summarizes the control key definitions,
		and packs a lot of information in a screenful.

	GOLD H	(The GOLD key is the top left hand button on the keypad).
		This is the fancy help feature.  It displays less information
		at any one time, but can give a detailed explanation of any
		key.  To get help on a special function of an alphabetic key,
		type the corresponding control character while in help mode.
		For example, asking for help on ^A (control a) will display
		the help text for ^A, GOLD A, and GOLD ^A.

	To exit the editor, type GOLD X.  To quit from an edit, and leave the
file unchanged, type "^G" followed by "QUIT" followed by a carriage return.


	When installing this on another system, a local copy of the file 
EDTHELP.HLB must be generated generated as follows:

		$ SET DEFAULT [TOOLS.EDTMACRO]
		$ COPY SYS$HELP:EDTHELP.HLB *
		$ LIBRARY/HELP EDTHELP.HLB EDTHELP.HLP
