Emulate EDT Keypad Mode commands closely so that current
EDT users will find that it easy and comfortable to use GNU
Emacs with a small learning curve.
Make it easy for a user to customize EDT emulation key
bindings without knowing much about Emacs Lisp.
Make it easy to switch between the original EDT default
bindings and the user's customized EDT bindings, without having
to exit Emacs.
Provide support for some TPU/EVE functions not supported in
EDT.
Provide an easy way to restore all
original Emacs key bindings, just as they existed before the
EDT emulation was first invoked.
Support GNU Emacs 19 and higher. XEmacs 19, and above, is
also supported.
Supports highlighting of marked text within the EDT
emulation on all platforms on which Emacs supports highlighting
of marked text.
Handle terminal configuration interactively for most
terminal configurations, when the emulation is invoked for the
first time.
