That comparison is skewed.

The equivalent of EDT EDTINI (EDTINI.EDT) is EVE
TPU$COMMAND (TPUINI.TPU).

Both are small text files.

TPU$SECTION is a binary representation of all the high level
stuff in the editor on top of the basic TPU stuff.

The equivalent of saving a new TPU$SECTION in EDT would be more like
creating a patched version of EDTSHR.EXE.
