Thanks. I'm actually doing this
in Windows not in Unix. When I try to run the M-x edt-emulation-on
command it says "Cannot open load file: edt-mapper.el", yet it
finds the file in this directory:
It looks like something is weird with
the path, especially the opposing slashes. I was able to run XEmacs
in Unix and get the edt-emulation to work, however.
Again, thanks for your help.

OK, I had some time to read the file. It seems that EDT emulation
needs to build the keymap that works for your workstation.
It looks like the standard way to access the EDT emulation is by
typing
M-x edt-emulation-on RET
If you have not yet run it on that system, it will build a keymap for
you by asking you which keys are where. This seems to work OK for
me,
but I don't know anything about EDT, so my keystrokes were random. It
is best to do this mapping from a fresh xemacs run without running
your init file. Use "xemacs -vanilla -l edt-mapper.el".
This only
needs to be done once.
After that, starting EDT emulation can be automated by putting
(add-hook term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
in your init file. I don't know if this will work, I haven't tested.
You can get more documentation about the EDT emulation by reading the
documentation, which you can access from XEmacs with
M-: (find-file (locate-data-file "edt-user.doc")) RET
