AI Memo 555 of 1981-10-02 is the Emacs Manual for Twenex Users by Richard M. Stallman. this is the TECO-based Emacs. I used it for a few years, myself, until they (the evil "they") retired the DECsystem-20. a few years later, I used a Gosling-derived Emacs on PRIME systems. #\Erik -- those who do not know Lisp are doomed to reimplement it
