Phillip, thanks for pointing that out, I thought I tried using EDIT/TPU/READ, but I just verified that EDIT/TPU/READ does work, but EDIT/EDT/READ does not.

$ edt/read SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;1008
%EDT-F-OPENIN, error opening SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG;1008 as input
-RMS-E-FLK, file currently locked by another user
$

My guess is that I don't like EVE for large files, and when I tried EDIT/EDT/READ, I just assumed that EDIT/TPU/READ would be the same.
