Ah, well, if we're doing prehistory, then I was using TV -- a screen-oriented version of TECO -- in the mid '70s. I cannot see any resemblance between it & Emacs, however. My understanding of the relation between TECO & Emacs is that Stallman wrote the first Emacs *in* TECO, there being no Elisp. -- --- Joe Fineman joe_f@verizon.net ||: Christians & Marxists think suffering must mean something. :||
