You can also rebind keys in EDT, which I've also done in the past.
The problem is that no solution today have been good enough for my needs.
Rebinding in EDT have some limitations that means some stuff will not 
work as you expected.
Using VTEDIT.TEC hits memory limits, which TECO solves in a way that 
makes it behave very different than EMACS for larger files.
MicroEMACS just plain don't deal with large files.

Any other variant I forgot to mention? :-)
