[TUHS] On computerese

[Aron Insinga]

I am sure that shorter shell commands and switches were helpful for 
*anybody* typing on a clunky, electro-mechanical Teletype (former TM).  
They were for me, even though I had learned some typing in school on 
mechanical typewriters.

For the counter-example, I wonder if anyone ever tried to type very much 
(verbose) DCL on VAX/VMS using a Teletype. :-)
