Talking of "Hello, world!", I remember working in ISPF/TSO, when a line-mode message filled the screen. A text rendering of a ghost and "Nasty Wetmonster* phantom strikes again!". Everyone in the office got it. I looked up the TPUT macro and found the USERIDL= parameter.
Some clown was scanning rhe control blocks, looking for any jobs with a User ID and sending a ghostly TPUT to every one. I don't think he ever got sacked :-) Rupert *name changed a bjt, to protect the guilty.
