Thanks for the feedback.

I believe that the test version broke the bahavior of the NumLock key
on windows.  I replaced the test version of edt.sl on jedsoft.org with
an updated version:

   <http://www.jedsoft.org/test/edt.sl>

Please rerun your tests with it.  Note that I changed EDT_Gold_Key to
Key_Gold for consistency with the other key names, and updated the
documentation:

%% To enable this emulation, put the line
%%  
%%    require ("edt");
%%
%% in your jed.rc (.jedrc) file.
%%
%% By default, the value of the Gold-Key is system-dependent.  On Unix
%% and VMS systems, it corresponds to the actual Gold key on a vtXXX
%% terminal.  Such a key sends "\eOP".  Unfortunately most users are
%% not using a terminal that has such a key.  For such users a
%% different key can be used as the Gold-Key, as described below.
%%  
%% Versions of jed for DOS/Windows can use the NumLock key as the
%% Gold-Key.  This is controlled by the NUMLOCK_IS_GOLD variable.  If
%% that variable has a non-zero value when this file is loaded, then
%% the NumLock key will generate "\eOP".  Otherwise, it is assumed
%% that the Gold-Key corresponds to the F1 key.  
%%
%% To specify a different value, e.g., the value of the F7 key, use
%%  
%%    require ("keydefs");
%%    variable Key_Gold = Key_F7;
%%    require ("edt");
%%  
%% in your jedrc file.  

Thanks,
