	This submission contains the latest version of APLTPU, a highly
	enhanced version of DEC's EDT Emulator.  This version of APLTPU
	works under VMS V4.4-4.7 and VMS 5.0.     Included are files to
	build APLTPU for whichever version of VMS you are using.

	Enhancements to the DEC EDT Emulator include:

		- Split screen editing
		- Rectangular CUT/PASTE
		- Improved define key (learn key)
		- Advanced positioning commands
		- Selected substitution
		- Centering, trimming, case setting
		- Control character and space/tab conversion
		- Full online help

	and the following enhancements, made since the submission to the
	Spring '88 (Cincinnati) VAX SIG tape:

		- VMS version 5.0 support
		- Initialization files to allow users to tailor APLTPU
		  options, including their own word definitions, using
		  APLTPU commands rather than programming in VAXTPU.
		- A DCL buffer to execute DCL commands
		- Wildcards for "reference" files in split screen edit
		- Margin support
		- Bug fixes and other minor new features
