edt: Quick start

 
 1.1 How to Begin Using EDT
 ==========================
 
 To start the EDT Emulation, first start Emacs and then enter ‘M-x
 edt-emulation-on’ to begin the emulation.  After initialization is
 complete, the following message will appear below the status line
 informing you that the emulation has been enabled: “Default EDT keymap
 active”.
 
    You can have the EDT Emulation start up automatically, each time you
 initiate an Emacs session, by adding the following line to your ‘.emacs’
 file:
 
      (add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
 
 *Important:* Be sure to read the rest of this manual.  It contains very
 useful information on how the EDT Emulation behaves and how to customize
 it to your liking.
 
 The EDT emulation consists of the following files:
 
    • ‘edt.texi’—This manual.
 
    • ‘edt-user.el’—An example customization file (located in the Emacs
      distribution etc directory).
 
    • ‘edt.el’—EDT emulation functions and default configuration.
 
    • ‘edt-lk201.el’—Built-in support for DEC LK-201 keyboards.
 
    • ‘edt-vt100.el’—Built-in support for DEC VT-100 (and above)
      terminals.
 
    • ‘edt-pc.el’—Built-in support for PC 101 Keyboards under MS-DOS.
 
    • ‘edt-mapper.el’—Create an EDT LK-201 map file for keyboards without
      built-in support.
