   I've used DCL and TPU features to have EVE asa a kept editor, just
   spawning the editor and then attaching to whichever process I needed.

   The ability to define keys in both TPU and DCL made this trivial to
   use.  Never saw a need for a commercial product, although I did have   
   a couple demos and a one nasty sales call.
