Thanks Paul, that second article was very helpful.
I managed to get a custom profile to run successfully, and have already
set up several keyboard shortcuts.
However, some functions that I thought would work, simply don't. I tried
setting up EraseEOF using a single keystroke (I'm too lazy to hit
Ctrl-Delete), and have coded it the same way as the other user-defined
actions I created, but it still doesn't like something. When I
substitute "c-delete" for another action, it works fine, so I know it's
not a problem with the rest of the code.
Can you shed any light on this? (no biggie if you don't have the time).
Thanks again (here is the code).....
package com.mbi.lpexextensions;
import com.ibm.lpex.core.LpexAction;
import com.ibm.lpex.core.LpexView;
public class UserProfile1 {
public static void userProfile(LpexView lpexView) {
lpexView.defineAction("EraseEOF", new LpexAction() {
public void doAction(LpexView view) {
view.doAction(view.actionId("c-delete"));
}
public boolean available(LpexView view) {
return view.currentElement() != 0 &&
!view.queryOn("readonly");
}
});
lpexView.doCommand("set keyAction.backQuote.secondary EraseEOF");
// set ispf as default editor style
lpexView.doDefaultCommand("set default.updateProfile.baseProfile
ispf");
}
}

Have a look at this article:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0605_ca
sey/0605_casey.html
It's old, and is talking about RDz instead of RDi, but the majority of
the steps are identical and it should be fairly clear what to do.
A hint for the final step, which appears to be different:
There are two locations that hold plugins, "plugins" in the SDP folder
and "plugins" in the SDPShared folder. When exporting your plugin (or
copying it, as suggested) do not copy into the shared folder as it just
won't work.
There is also an article about creating a user profile for LPEX, which
basically allows you to assign keys and run commands whenever an LPEX
source editor is opened. If you look for com.ibm.lpex.samples in the RDP
help, you should find an example user profile in there with source.
