[comp.os.vms] EDT-emulation in TPU

MCGUFFEY@MUVMS1.BITNET (01/28/88)

        I'm without a TPU manual and I'm trying to find out how to
modify EDTSECINI so that it emulates EDT a little better.

        1: How do I make UP and DOWN work so that it uses screen columns
                rather than character columns. (i.e. when using the
                down-arrow to move through a file, the cursor jumps from
                column to column as a result of TPU interpreting TABS
                as a single character instead of however many spaces they
                take up on the screen.)  The "VAXTPU EDT Keypad Emulator"
                handbook says it's possible but does not go into detail.

        2: How do I get FIND to search for the end-of-line as part of a
                search string.  I use end-of-line and form-feed a lot in
                substitutions and "It don't work if it don't find 'em".

Thanks,
