I still would have preferred EDT!  Once you learn a good editor it's 
hard to give it up! TPU was really unattractive!  The default keypad had 
nothing to do with anything *I* wanted to do.  I had EDT "macros" that 
didn't translate to TPU easily (or at all)!  If EDT supported regular 
expression searching I don't think I'd ever use anything else!
