VMS Help EDT Routines, XLATE, Description  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The nokeypad command XLATE allows you to gain control of the
    EDT session. (See the OpenVMS EDT Reference Manual for more
    information about the XLATE command.) If you do not need to gain
    control of EDT during the editing session, you can use the entry
    point EDT$XLATE for this argument or you can omit it.
