Another MACRO project was to add additional variants
to the nine KED variants that DEC supports for RT-11
and RSTS/E.   DEC supports the VT100, the VT52 and
the VT62.   I added the VT420 which supports more than
24 lines as I mentioned in my last post.   Having a "terminal"
with 44 lines was a huge advantage when I started to enhance
SDHX.SYS, as I find when I type this post under Netscape
and have about 36 lines in additional to all the tool bars.

What I'm curious about is why EDT never appeared under RT-11. (or did
it?)   KED is respectable, but EDT is pure heaven.

It didn't?   That'd make it pretty much the only of the major OSes to NOT
have EDT right?

  Yep.   I'm not 100% certain it didn't, as I'm not much of an RT-11 guy,
but I've never seen it on any system, or on any distribution.
