Most people think that running an editor like "pico" or "vi" on Grex simply runs a piece of software that lets you create and revise text. This used to be the case, but not any more. This is the age of the internet, and nowadays running an editor telnets to an editing shop near Buffalo, NY (although the physical location is not important) and passes your text to a human editor who makes value judgements. If the person doesn't like it, you get a "nasty return".
emacs
Well, emacs sends it to MIT, where Richard Stallman himself checks it out.
<lee wonders wonder where the heck her emacs reference card disappeared to>
It wouldn't be the one that's on my desk, perchance?
I don't know. Did you take it by accident?

Hooked on phonics works for eggplo...egpla....ig...eggpp...whatever.
Yes, but will it educate the eggplants to sing in tune with the tulips?
No, for that you have to sign up for their additional course, hooked on harmony. For an additional cost, of course.
I thought only potatoes sang
*Really* big potatoes do the Monster Mash. But all potatoes have rather tubercular voices, so they aren't really popular singing.
he did the mash, he did the monster mash! the monster mash!
<hundreds of beady little potato eyes cross & uncross to the beat...>
Ooh...potatoes... <lee looks for sour cream>
Mashed potato or-... <never mind. I'll be quiet now.>
In the darkness of a still spring night, premonitions of some nameless evil seem to stir in the air. In a dark corner, the smell of potatoes becomes almost overpowering. Long, flexible sprouts grow from shriveling bodies at an unnatural speed. A faint rustling is heard as the potatoes drag themselves out of the tub and begin to crawl toward the bedroom. Flesh and blood cooked potatoes alive and ate them at dinner that evening. Now the fortunes will be reversed, and the potatoes will dine on raw flesh and blood! A strange, stuptifying sleepy smell of potatoes steals into the humans's dreams as the wirey tendrils wrap tightly around their helpless bodies, binding them fast for the horror to come.....
....TATER TOTS! AIE! RUN!
tater tots are tasty
Yes, but they are still a source of Insidious Evil
Evil is good, baby, down with government!
Up with the sun, gone with the wind......
Rhett?
Dr Scott! Rocky! Bullwinkle!
Sandy?
Prairie avenger, mountain lion. Bryan, Byran, Bryan, Bryan Gigantic troubadour, speaking like a siege gun, Smashing Plymough Rock with his shoulders from the West.
Did you see that mountain that looks like a lion laid down and went to sleep?
No.
Yes, but i don't remember which museum (or library) it sits in front of. Why do midwesterners call anything taller than their car a "mountain"?
Would that make me a geological feature?
I dunno. Are there hills in the midwest?
Is the Pope Catholic? Protestant? Mormon, perhaps? So much to consider...
Can you get <beep> the first time?
Midwestern hills are generally shorter than the cars, but taller than the cats. No, but R2-D2 can if he's feeling horny enough to want it.
If the cats are larger than the cars, chances are you're not in Kansas anymore.
