But, somehow, it's just not the same ... Please be sure of your facts before answering questions like this! VMS V5 does contain a native mode TECO which runs on ALL VAXen. I ought to know. I'm running VMS V5 on a VAXstation 2000 and TECO saved my *** when I had to edit a file before I get the windowing SW installed. (I never did learn to use EDT in the line mode.) R.
