trivia-
There used to be a utility called se (screen editor) that came bundled
with AT&T Unix - it's in the old System V manual.  It did have a nice
ruler across the top of the screen.  It was the first editor I learned
because it was in the book and vi wasn't.  I just couldn't bear to use
ed on a screen, even though I did have to learn it.
