Errr.. not really, since EDTF doesn't have the syntax checking
capabilities that SEU has.  Plus, editing a source member with EDTF
looks more like this:

    EDTF '/QSYS.LIB/SOURCE.LIB/QRPGLESRC.FILE/WHATEVER.MBR'

which is much more awkward than:

    STRSEU SOURCE/QRPGLESRC WHATEVER

I was actually thinking of a "shortcut command" like, say 'SEURPG4' which
takes just one argument, the member name.  thus:

    SEURPG4 WHATEVER

very quick :)   Of course, it could really only be used as a shortcut,
since you'd still need STRSEU to have all the options available for when
you need them.

Just a trick to save keystrokes :)
