Table of EDT Commands

These are the EDT keypad mode commands listed by function. The behavior of commands with a bidirectional Ťť symbol depends on the EDT direction commands: FORWARD and REVERSE. Within NetBeans, the direction is indicated on the right of the status bar of the Source Editor window.

For a complete EDT command reference, see Chapter 9 in the OpenVMS User's Manual at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6489/6489pro_020.html
