NAME
          edt+ - Screen-oriented text editing utility

     SYNOPSIS
          edt [-recover[:N]] [-[no]read_only] [-[no]output[=file]]
          [-[no]command[=file]] [-[no]journal[=file]] name

     DESCRIPTION
          The edt command is used to invoke the edt+ text editor.
          This utility is provided by Boston Business Computing, Ltd.
          to emulate the functions and facilities of Digital Equipment
          Corporation's editor. Users who are familiar with Digital
          Equipment Corporation computers should find that this
          utility eases the transition between DEC and Unix based
          systems by providing a common text editing tool.

          edt+ incorporates a powerful word processor, disaster
          recovery system, an extensive help facility, full feature
          programmable text processing and the GOLD-KEY style of
          editing.

          The command line options available are as follow:

            -command:name
               Changes the default command file name from EDTINI.EDT
               to the file name given on the command line. nocommand
               prohibits the execution of a startup file, causing the
               editor to run with default commands.

            -journal:name
               Changes the default journal file name to the name
               specified on the command line. nojournal inhibits the
               journal function in edt+

            -output:name
               Specifies an alternate output file to be created at the
               end of your editing session. nooutput suppresses the
               creation of an output file.

            -read_only
               Used to access a file for reading purposes only. This
               option is equivalent to using both nojournal and
               nooutput options. noread_only is the default and will
               cause a journal file to be written and an output file
               to be created upon exiting your editing session.

            -recover:N
               Applies the first N keystokes saved in the journal file
               to the filename given in the command line.


     FILES
              $HOME/edtini.edt
               If present, this file is read by edt+ to define the
               initial operating parameters used by the editor.
