• Key definition
For more information about using DECTPU, refer to the Guide to the DEC Text
Processing Utility and the DEC Text Processing Utility Reference Manual.
5.1.1 EVE
For most uses, the EVE editing interface is preferable to EDT because of its
features and customizable interface. The EVE editing interface is installed with
DECTPU.
EVE is easy to learn and easy to use. You can access most common editing
functions by pressing a single key on the EVE keypad. You invoke EVE
commands and special DECTPU features and advance functions by entering
commands on the EVE command line. With EVE, you can customize your
editing interface by using initialization files, command files, learn sequences, key
definitions, and DECTPU built-in procedures.
If you are an experienced EDT user, you can use the EVE command SET
KEYPAD EDT to redefine the default EVE keypad bindings to emulate an EDT
keypad. EDT keypad emulation in EVE provides most of the functions of the
EDT keypad and binds these functions to the same keys that EDT uses.
5.2 EDT Editor
EDT is an interactive text editor that has the following capabilities:
• Three types of editing modes: keypad mode for screen-oriented editing, line
mode for line-number editing, and nokeypad mode for defining your own key
sequences. You can use any mode you prefer and you can switch back and
forth during a single editing session.
• Journaling to protect your editing session in the event of a system
interruption.
• Multiple buffers.
• Access to as many files as you need.
• Startup command files to initialize the EDT editing environment to your own
needs.
• EDT macros to automate repetitive editing procedures.
5.3 DEC Language-Sensitive Editor/Source Code Analyzer
The DEC Language-Sensitive Editor/Source Code Analyzer (LSE/SCA) is a
multilanguage, multiwindow, screen-oriented editor and a source code analyzer,
designed for program development and maintenance. LSE/SCA is a component of
DECset, an optional Digital product. Each DECset tool provides a DECwindows
Motif user interface and a consistent look and feel across platforms. LSE/SCA
works in concert with supported OpenVMS languages and the OpenVMS
Debugger to provide a highly interactive, online environment for editing,
compiling, debugging, and analyzing a program.
LSE provides the following features:
• Contains source code templates for the language constructs it supports
• Tailors the editing sessions for supported languages and products
