Seems you're right about using EDTF.

There is, however, a product, Programmer Tools or something - 5799-PTL - 
the includes the ez editor and can also run the emacs editor. There is 
an EDTSTMF command there that basically calls one or the other. I think 
it's really inexpensive. More information here from the help text of 
EDTSTMF -

The Edit Stream File (EDTSTMF) command starts an editing program that 
allows you to create,  edit, and format many different types of source 
files or documents.  EDTSTMF starts the EZ editor by default. You can 
also use this command to start the Emacs editor by changing the 
QIBM_PTL_EDITOR environment variable.  EZ is an ASCII based editor, so 
you can only use it to edit ASCII files or you can use the convert (CVT) 
parameter which will convert a file to ASCII before starting the 
editor.  This command requires that PASE option 33 of the Operating 
System is installed, that you have run the Start iSeries Tools (STRPTL) 
command to initialize your environment and that you are running an 
X-windowing application on your client device.  For more details see 
http://www.iseries.ibm.com/developer/factory/tools                 

Some of the tools run in QShell, some require PASE.
