Another thread about editors on VMS? It feels like there are so many. At
least JED was mentioned here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.vms/mZiwmIkrTtw/pknxFyfYAAAJ

Anyway, JED is more or less the only editor I use on VMS, in EDT mode,
with EDT keypad and xterm. More or less the same settings on Linux. Same
colors, same look and feel on both platforms.
