In the file edt.sl all the keybindings were defined using raw keycodes
that are used on DOS systems. FL-Jed returns keycodes similar to xterm.

For edt.sl to work in FL-Jed, edt.sl should be changed:
1. add
   require("keydefs.sl");
at the beginning of edt.sl

2. modify the keycodes used in setkey():
  setkey("edt_help",	"\eOQ");	%% help
becomes
  setkey("edt_help",	Key_KP_Slash);	%% help

FL-Jed does not return any keysequence when NumLock is pressed, so
this will not work. I will put this on my TODO list. I have never
worked with the EDT editor. Can you please describe briefly what
are it's main features. I see that the numerical keypad is used
quite a lot.

Currently FL-Jed returns the same keycode whether the NumLock is on
or off. I will add the ability to return different keycodes depending
on the NumLock state. The user will be able to select the mode of
operation.

This is because JED uses a display that is a grid of characters. When you
change the font you:
   1. change the shape of the character
   2. change the size of a single cell in the grid.

A bug. After you move the scrollbar, the screen fails to update. To update
it, move the cursor with the keyboard and the display will refresh.
