Sorry if this has gone by already without me noticing.


A few years ago I was working on a DEC System 10 which had an editor
called TECO (Text Editor and COrrector, as I recall).  Anyway, it was
a terrific editor if full screen wasn't your cup of tea.  In order to
edit a new file, you had to type in,


			make filename
			teco filename

One of the bits of trivia that came with the editor was to try,

			make love

The response was NOT a cute OS error message.  TECO would reply

			? not war

which I thought (and still think) was clever.  Kudos to the gal/guy who put
it in and managed to have it distributed.
