What behaviour is different with XEmacs? The EDT package normally binds F1
to edt-default-gold-map, which means that when you hit F1 followed by one of
the other function keys, you’ll call different commands than if you hit the
other function keys individually. Is the package’s behaviour with GNU Emacs
significantly different?

more into contact with civilization, Dobrinton was bitten by a dog which was
assumed to be mad, though it may only have been indiscriminating. (Saki)
