 GOLD  (BLUE)
 ----
 Lets you use the lower (alternate) function of the editing keys. Press the GOLD
 key, then the key you wish to use.

 You can also use the GOLD key to enter counts.  Press GOLD and then the main
 keyboard numeric keys, followed by the key to which the count should apply.
 The DELETE key and CTRL/U can be used to edit the number, and thus cannot have
 a count applied to them in this manner.  The SPECINS key treats the count as
 the code for a character to be inserted.

 The GOLD key is used with main keyboard keys for additional editing functions.
 For help on "GOLD character" (for example, GOLD A), press the character's key on
 the main keyboard.

 ENTER
 -----
 Sends information to EDT for functions such as FIND and COMMAND.

 and finds the next occurrence of the string.  To use:

     1.  Press SELECT.
     2.  Type the new text.
     3.  Press CUT.
     4.  Press FIND.
     5.  Enter the text you wish to replace.

 Each time you press SUBS, EDT makes one substitution and finds the next
 occurrence of the search string.  You can use a repeat count for multiple
 substitutions.

         beginning of the line, a number of tab characters and spaces are
         inserted to move the cursor to the column position that is equal to the
