TECO (the archaic yet nice editor) written by DEC had an operating system
(shell) command that was called MAKE.  If one typed "MAKE XXX" to the
operating system, the system would enter the editor and create the file named
XXX. In addition the bug/feature that the system included said in response to
"MAKE LOVE", "Not War?".   Is this a bug/feature?, I don't know.  Anyone at
DEC have anything to suggest?  I believe it was because TECO was written in
the sixties.  Please respond to me via mail (or post the reply if it is
of general enough interest).  Thanks for all the YASSC jokes -- very good.
