About the ONLY thing I liked about SOS was that the line editing
commands were very similar (read: a clone) of the old TRS-80 Level II
BASIC editing commands. Since I had hacked a TRS-80 extensively before
going to college, I felt right at home with SOS.

Of course, it wasn't long afterwards that I discovered real editors like
EDT and TECO.

Anyone ever use full screen CANDE on a Burroughs TD830 terminal?
