TECO (Text Editor and Corrector) is a text editor that is/was used on =
Digital Equipment Computers,
Almost from the beginning, in the late 60's. (Yes. Our age is showing). =
It was hard to use, had cryptic commands, and didn't show anything on =
the screen. Needless to say, programmers loved it.=20
It started in the early age of computers, when teletypes were the only, =
uh, 'terminal' we had.=20
It was originally used for editing punched paper tapes (the 'T' in TECO =
originally Stood for 'Tape').=20

use shorthand
Commands instead of length ones. Complicated TECO macros were a minor =
art form.

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know.
