My encounter with PL/I was with some 3270-style Wang terminals for their minicomputers. They were programmable by writing PL/I which got compiled and stored in the terminal's NVRAM. There wasn't much you couldn't do with it, I made macros that could copy blocks of text between two different terminal sessions as well as a bunch of cursor positioning and general clipboard operations. PL/I is quite a nice language.
