OK, this is not what I was expecting. Apparently
while emacs was a
set of macros for TECO, it isn't a set of macros for *standard* TECO,
but only for the heavily modified version of TECO at MIT. The command
set is so divergent from standard TECO, that I hardly recognize the
command set.
Well, technically, you have that bass ackwards. TECO ("Tape Editor and
COrrector", for paper tapes on the PDP-1) was written at MIT. DEC took
it and began making modifications for various hardware, but TECO for ITS
on the PDP-10 is a direct descendant of the PDP-1 TECO written by the
same guys.
(NB: ITS TECO was the first version I learned, ~35 years ago. I get
irritated when the DEC versions don't have features I rely on. It's all
POV.)
