[comp.sys.atari.st] STEDT blows up

I have a copy of STEDT.PRG, which describes itself as an emacs-like
editor with EDT keypad and not the other way around, but still sounds
handy.  Unfortunately, it blows up with "2 bombs" when I try to run it.
(I got it to run once in history, but I don't remember what else was
running.)  Any idea why this one won't hack it?

I am running a 1040STf with ETERNAL eating 360k and your normal
accessories.  Available memory is 492,000 bytes.

My copy of STEDT crashes if I try to edit a file which has no dot '.'
in its file name - it usually crashes when I try to exit.   This may be
the problem you're having.

"xxxx.yyy" is ok
"zzzz" is not ok
"zzzz." is ok.
