> second only to a terminal Lisp system that had no backspace and thus no ability to fix a typing mistake. To be fair, the 'proper' way to deal with that is probably to write some Lisp code to patch the running editor to add backspace functionality. That's not really reasonable for someone (presumably) still learning Lisp, though. (And chances are it wasn't a true Scotsman^WLisp system and didn't support that anyway.)
