Not sure about that. Remember, these are the ****ers that gave us
TECO. And two-character unix commands.

Nothing wrong with TECO! I met someone who had it solving
differential equations, too!

So which key did you press for 'undo', then, Our Bob?

I was so good, I never needed to.

*That* good, eh? Have another gin.

I decided to learn TECO rather than the locally written editor because I
thought it would be useful in the long run.

And it was. Multiple DEC systems (RT-11, RSX, VMS, etc.) plus - strangely
- the assembler ROM on the BBC B.
