Simple EDT or TPU init file

I was hoping that someone could help me out with some simple editor setup.

I have written a program that will generate a large text file that I want
the user to view. This program is called from within another program that
is used by operators in a factory. I was thinking of spawning a subprocess
and use a text editor to view the file. The users do not normally use any
VMS editors, so without some key mapping this isn't a good option.

I would like the editor to have only the following keys mapped:

Up arrow - move up one line
Down arrow - move down one line
Keypad 4 - page forward
Keypad 6 - page backward
Keypad 1 - quit

That's it.

I was thinking that an EDT command file with lines might work. I don't have
any documentation other than the online HELP.

Anyone know how to do this?

Or maybe the EDT or TPU manual are on-line somewhere?

Mike
