Abstract: SEDT is a high performance, full function VAX screen editor that offers a number of the following unique attributes.

Unique Attributes

• Full support of the VT200 series terminals using VT200 7 bit mode with support of all function keys and multinational character set, SEDT will automatically switch the terminal into and from VT100 mode.
• Superior performance through optimal coding, screen optimization routines and the ability to have SEDT reside in a subprocess, which allows SEDT to be reentered without any reinitialization.
• The ability to run on slow terminal lines through suspension of screen updates when a command is entered and by moving the cursor window to the top of the screen.
• Adaptability to new terminals through simple modification to the sources.
• Callability, which enables SEDT to be integrated into other software packages; callable SEDT is reentrant which enables the application to reenter the edit session.
• User interface that is very close to EDT in change mode
• The ability to mark a number of points in the file and return to these points.

All sources are included in the submission, which enables sites to tailor the product for local requirements.
