Ah, TECO - now there was a real editor.  Looked like complete gibberish, 
which reminds me of this old article :

http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html

A guy I worked with wrote a TECO macro to search through all our source code 
in all directories to do a global search/replace of a function call he 
wanted to changed.  Doesn't sound too hard today, using sed or other global 
search/replace editors, but it was pretty impressive for the time....

I quickly learned about vtteco and started using it, though.  Similar to the 
visual mode of edt, but I liked it better.
