[comp.emacs] More Troubles With VMS Emacs

OK, I hope this will be my last posting for a while.  I got the problems
fixed with control-S and control-Q by redefining them to do nothing and
rebinding their functions to other keys.  Now I am trying to get the
EDT emulator function to work.  I am using GNU Emacs 18.52 on a VMS 4.7
VAX. I invoke the emulator in the default.elc file in [.lisp] (I guess
that is /lisp to most of you) by 

	(setq term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)

or something of the sort, as stated in the manual. The problem is that
the GOLD-KEYPAD combinations don't seem to get defined.  If I do C-h k "-"
where "-" is a keypad minus, I get the correct assignment.  However when
I do C-h k "<GOLD> -" (GOLD then keypad minus) I get "key undefined"
or somesuch in the minibuffer.  It also injects a character or two into
the text after point.

I looked at the EDT.EL source.  To my FORTRAN-trained eyes, it looks
like GOLD-MAP is used before either it or GOLD-PREFIX is defined.
The keys mapped to GOLD-MAP before the definition don't get bound.
The keys mapped after the GOLD-MAP definition all seem to be there.
But I don't know lisp so this may be noise.

	What am I missing?

P.S. the terminal is a vt100 and it appears that vt100.el is getting
executed (i just don't load edt-em and do C-h k for keypad keys and
they have the right values according to keypad.el)
