Mike Blanford, Heidi Scott · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1982

As the basic tool for creating and modifying text and code input files at Sandia, the EDT Editor is perhaps the most widely used piece of software on the development VAX computers. Several enhancements for the editor are presented here, along with instructions for and examples of their use. SLAVE includes a command procedure to initialize and run the editor, an improved string search and substitution facility, keystrokes to simplify multi-buffer editing, several miscellaneous functions, and a setup mode to customize the editor to particular applications. The regular EDT help utility has been augmented to include information on these new features.
