Got a pointer to the documentation?
- bitwize 9y agohttp://multicians.org/mepap.html http://multicians.org/mepap.html This actually appeared on Hackernews a couple of times, which is how I found it. Money quotes: "It was soon found that Emacs could be taught within minutes or an hour to those with no technical experience at all." (referring to TECO Emacs actually but applicable to Multics Emacs) "Non-technical personnel have been observed to acquire enough knowledge of Lisp to extend Emacs for only this purpose." "While ITS TECO code is quite baroque, and accessible to only a few experts, the extension language of Multics Emacs is sufficiently natural and simple to learn that non-technical personnel have successfully written and debugged non-trivial extensions."
