Thanks Fred and Steve - at least it was not something I was missing 
from the documentation. It is not a big deal, hence the subject line.
It is just that when you use an editor for a long certain habits 
become second nature and are hard to change. I became accustomed to 
the no delete eol when writing line based programs using the IBM EPM 
editor.

A related facility was you could configure Return to not insert an eol 
but just go to the start of the next line. For a new line you pressed 
c-return.

On a historical note I switched from Zap to StrongED years ago because 
like EPM, StrongED had keystroke record and playback; column 
selection, and a default white background:-)
