Or define a systemwide EVE$INIT to point to an EVE$INIT.EVE file like this:

TPU IF GET_INFO (SCREEN, "MOTIF") THEN SET (MOUSE,ON) ELSE SET (MOUSE,OFF) ENDIF
DEF KEY=CONTROL-B SET WIDTH 132
DEF KEY=CONTROL-N SET WIDTH 80
DEF KEY=F8 QUIT
DEF KEY=GOLD-E EXIT
DEF KEY=GOLD-Q QUIT
DEF KEY=GOLD-X TPU WRITE_FILE (SELECT_RANGE,"TMP.TMP")
DEF KEY=GOLD-LEFT  "SHIFT LEFT 8"
DEF KEY=GOLD-RIGHT "SHIFT RIGHT 8"
SET CURSOR BOUND
SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK
SET SCROLL MARGIN 7 7
SET NOWRAP

Yes, EVE is better than EDT, but only if it behaves like EDT.
I wonder why this discussion pops up since 3 decades now...
