[Info-vax] EDTINI.EDT Issues

[Paul Richards]

I've set up some key definitions for use in EDIT and placed a line in
my LOGIN.COM file to read the EDTINI.EDT file. When I try to edit a
file I get a list of errors (see below).

I'm particularly puzzled by the 'That key is not definable' error
because, before creating the EDTINI.EDT file, I tried a 'Define key'
from the Command: prompt in EDIT and it worked fine. Guidance as to the
error of my ways will be gratefully accepted.
