As a user of DEC's EDT for many years, this was by far the best text editor for me (except TECO of course) and I used it for many, many years, and was eventually sad to see it not moved into Windows, etc.

I still have a copy of the docs and software intact... somewhere in one of 30+ boxes.

Absolutely! And I agree since I have been a VMS user since the early 1980's. The author of SEDT was Anker Berg-Sonne. I am certain that I was still using SEDT on Windows machines into the early 2000's. In fact, I kept on using LK450 keyboards for years because of SEDT and VT240 emulators.

SEDT no longer runs under my current Windows 10 64-bit operating system but it was compatible with Windows XP.
