OK it???s not emacs but it???s quite small and has enough functionality..
I'm thinking the point isn't: if only there were a nice editor, any
editor, that fits on RSX (those of us who grew up on EDT generally *love*
it already, and TECO is its own religion), but rather to accommodate
people's muscle memory and accept the commands they were already going to
type whether they meant to or not (which is why E11's built-in editor goes
in the other direction and uses the EDT/KED keypad layout).

You can also rebind keys in EDT, which I've also done in the past.
The problem is that no solution today have been good enough for my needs.
Rebinding in EDT have some limitations that means some stuff will not
work as you expected.
Using VTEDIT.TEC hits memory limits, which TECO solves in a way that
makes it behave very different than EMACS for larger files.
MicroEMACS just plain don't deal with large files.
Any other variant I forgot to mention? :-)
