This basinf file persisted until somewhere between V6 and V7 when it was merged with
intro.
Ah.
Under HOW TO GET STARTED
on page 7:
_How to communicate through your terminal._ When you type to UNIX, the
characters are collected and saved by the system. The characters will
not be given to the program until you type a return (or new-line), as
described above in _Logging in._
So it seems that bit of whimsy was excised early on. At least the
pages still have BUGS sections, which I seem to recall DEC found
necessary to expunge at some point!
