Basic Editing
=============

   Editing with JED is pretty easy-- most keys simply insert themselves.
Movement around the buffer is usually done using the arrow keys or page
up and page down keys.  If `edt.sl' is loaded, the keypads on VTxxx
terminals function as well.  Here, only the highlights are touched upon
(cut/paste operations are not considered "highlights"). In the
following, any character prefixed by the `^' character denotes a
Control character.  On keyboards without an explicit Escape key,
Control-[ will most likely generate and Escape character.  The
following list of useful keybindings assumes that `emacs.sl' has been
loaded.
