Note that this is not really an emulation of TPU, but an emulation of 
the EDT emulation mode of EVE. In particular you can't execute
TPU commands or write extensions in TPU, but are stuck with (or if you
prefer, have the advantage of) Emacs Lisp as the extension language.
In other words, you get EDT like function key bindings and such but
none of the other features of EVE/TPU.

The documentation which comes with the package makes this quite clear.

I know that this is a `religious' issue, but I prefer TPU to Emacs Lisp
so this emulation doesn't do it for me.
