Thanks for testing edt.sl and reporting your results.  However, I do
not understand why changes to edt.sl were necessary.  In your
windows jed.rc, simply using

   NUMLOCK_IS_GOLD = 1;
   require ("edt");

*should* result in Key_Gold being set to "\eOP", which the NumLock key
should generate.  Are you saying that this does not work?

On Unix, if you want some other key to mimick the gold key, e.g.,
Ctrl-A, then using

   variable Key_Gold = "^A";
   require ("edt");

should work.  If this does not work, then something is wrong.

There should be no need to recompile xjed to get these keys to
generate specific escape sequences.  The x_set_keysym function can be
used to associate a particular escape sequence with a keysym.
Starting xjed via

   xjed -l keycode -f keycode

can be used to find the keysym associated with a key.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
