Well, none that I can remember or offer.  I last used TECO about 10
years ago (I thought nobody used it anymore!), when I worked for a 
small medical research firm.  I used macros for *everything*.  My
best single macro was written when we were only a couple of months 
away from shipping, and asked our secretary to type up the manual
in a print-ready format.  Well, in order to do that, she needed a
word processor.  So I wrote one, in a TECO macro.  It didn't do much,
just word-wrap and justification, but it *was* a word processor.
