	Don't recall TPU directly... Had a few short encounters with LSE but
mostly used EDT (scary enough -- I had the Blaise editor from Alcor
Pascal [TRS-80 Model III/4] configured as much as possible to look like
EDT... Not easy since there were only three PF keys available, and maybe
one other missing key). EDT was also the supposed test case for the VLT
term program I used on my Amiga (VLT supported, supposedly, everything
but double height and double width character sets, over a dial-up line).
EDT was the editor used by the Delphi mail system.
