Re: jed, edt and keydefs

Hi John,

Thanks for the solution of the graphics line drawing problem.
It's simple and works just fine!

I have not yet tried your work around for the GOLD key function,
but I would like to hear what you think about have some other
way of handling the GOLD keys in the code?
On windows there is a simple numlock key that one can use, but on
Linux and x-windows this is not possible. Therefore I would like
to have a public variable that I can set in jed.rc. Would you
see this as a possibility ?

Regards,
         Thei.

P.S. Guenter, I will come back (soon) on your comments on keydefs.sl.
I am sure we can agree on most things and I can modify edt.sl accordingly.
