SUBROUTINE EDI_MTYPE( LID, MTYPE, STATUS )
*+
*  Name:
*     EDI_MTYPE

*  Purpose:
*     Decide on a mapping type given a list identifier

*  Language:
*     Starlink Fortran

*  Invocation:
*     CALL EDI_MTYPE( LID, MTYPE, STATUS )

*  Description:
*     {routine_description}

*  Arguments:
*     LID = INTEGER (given)
*        ADI identifier of EventList object
*     MTYPE = CHARACTER*(*) (returned)
*        The ADI type to map the list with
*     STATUS = INTEGER (given and returned)
*        The global status.
