But now nearly 40 yo memories are floating up. The IBM 5150 spoke APL,
where you could backspace over a command typed, and by pressing a
special key, you could over print the character and make it a different
command as it then showed the 2 characters over the top of each other in
one character space. It had IIRC a 5" electrostaticly deflected
oscilloscope tube for a display.
Even farther off-topic, I wonder what a working one of those is worth
