Grin, I think I missed that one, instead having to use FRED on a Honeywell L66
running GCOS-3 (from memory). That was a pure line editor, because the L66
only had a line input mode as there was a front end system between you and the
main machine that only passed on input/output when hit hit enter. :-)

Um, late 60's, some sed-like variant. It really was a _stream_ editor -
you prepared
a paper tape of edit commands and ran it against the original file paper
tape to
create the new file on paper tape.
The output tape ran at 400 chars/sec, the input was optically read at
faster than that.
