Perhaps.  Any Turing machine can emulate another, but of course that 
doesn't mean that all are equivalent.  I don't like TPU reading in a 
huge file if I only want to edit something at the beginning.  I don't 
like the cursor movement (even with EDT keypad), it is noticeably slower 
than EDT (yes, I can type fast enough that TPU slows me down).

LEARN is nice, and I occasionally use it.  It is possible to spawn out 
of EDT.
