Back in school we used to have a version of emacs which used TECO, and yes,
there does seem to be some resemblance to line noise.  Unfortunatelly, my
account at school finally disappeared, and I can't find any of my TECO code.
Anyone out there willing to give us an example of your best (i.e. most like
line noise :-) TECO code?
