Library /sys$common/syshlp/edthelp.hlb SET, MODE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

 The SET MODE (abbreviated SE M) command determines which mode of editing
 should be entered after all initial processing is complete.  This
 command is useful only in the startup command file.

 Format: SET MODE { LINE | CHANGE }

 By default, EDT enters line mode when the startup processing is
 complete.  Use SET MODE CHANGE in your startup command file to cause EDT
 to enter change mode when startup processing is complete.
