According to my ancient PDP/10 manual it's Text.

I once worked with a guy who'd had a CS prof tell him that Lisp was "the
only language in which it is possible to code the Towers of Hanoi".  Well,
my friend thought that just a little absurd.  So, every time he learned a
new language he'd code up the Towers of Hanoi and send the listing to his
old prof.  One day he learned TECO.
