The files here provide and document customizations to the EDT
Keypad Emulator for TPU.  The versions of some of these files
extant on December 2, 1985, were submitted to the VAX SIG
Symposium tape from the Anaheim DECUS meeting.  The versions
extant at the beginning of Octover, 1986, were submitted to the
VAX SIG Symposium tape for the October, 1986, San Francisco DECUS
meeting.  The versions extant at the beginning of December, 1987, 
are being submitted to the VAX SIG Symposium tape for the 
December, 1987, Anaheim DECUS meeting. 



The file of interest are as follows:


ACTIVATENEWTPU.COM is the procedure we use, after privately 
    experimenting with a new version, to put it into public use.

CHEATSHEET.RNO is the DSR source for a two-page summary of all
    the key definitions implemented in VMS, standard TPU EDT, or
    the Kalamazoo College customizations, including the keypad 
    and special function keys for the VT-100 and Zenith Z-29.

EDTGUIDE.RNO is the DSR source for a 20 page user guide for the 
    editor, as enhanced.

EDTINTRO.RNO is the DSR source for a six page introduction to 
    editing. 

EDTSECINI.TPU is DIGITAL's TPU source code for the stock EDT 
    Emulator interface.  This file is scheduled to vanish during 
    the VMS V5.0 upgrade. 

KAZSECINI.TPU is the TPU source for the Kalamazoo College 
    customizations. 

LASTGASP.RNO is the DSR source for a paper on fixing the bugs in 
    DIGITAL's last version of the standard EDT Emulator section 
    (the one shipped with VMS V4.6). 

LOGIN.COM is the standard file given to new users.  Most of the 
    DCL symbols defined at login time are accomplished by a 
    FORTRAN program submitted to the 1985 VAX SIG Tape.

STANDARD.RNO is our minimal (nearly "what you see is what you 
    get") DSR default setting file.

STUDENTOP.RNO is the DSR source for a paper on system security
    with student operators.  This version includes the appendices 
    that were not published in the August, 1987, issue of the 
    Pageswapper. 

TPUEDT.RNO is the DSR source for the paper on the programming of 
    the customizations, an earlier version of which was published
    in the February, 1986, issue of the PAGESWAPPER. 

TPUINI.TPU is the TPU source given to individual users as their
    personalizable editor initialization.  The other TPUINI.* 
    files are "pre-specialized" for FORTRAN (.FOR), PASCAL, TPU, 
    or LISP (.PAS), and thesis (.SIP) writing.
