I use the select range feature for a lot more than marking things I'm going to delete - it's used for cut/paste and changing case of the range as well. For those who have learned EDT and want to use TPU without learning the EVE keypad definitions, it is possible to redefine the keypad. Personally, I prefer using the keypad to using keyboard characters as in vi because I'm a lousy typist using terminals that are too stiff for me to type fast. But since my only real option at work is SPF (on an IBM 3090) which has exactly one nice feature (the split screen capability) I'll take EDT any day. Miriam Nadel
