The progression went
Structured Programming Facility
Interactive Structured Programming Facility
Interactive System Productivity Facility
The first was abbreviated SPF and the next two ISPF.

The 026 was an 024 with printing.

I could insert characters on an 026, although it was frowned on. But I
didn't care for IEBUPDAT or ATS either. My first assembler was SOAP 2;
I wouldn't care to go back. My first compiler had one-character
variable names; thanks but no thanks. I'm quite happy never to have to
use what I first learned.
>Some people even call VI an editor!
The editor from Hell is better than some I've used.
