I had used Emacs at MIT as an undergraduate. Bill

me, "how do they do that in Emacs", or ITS, and then riff on a feature
and put it into vi or whatever. Whether I suggested an "apropos" Unix
command or someone wanted something like that, or I said, "sounds like
'apropos' in Emacs", I don't remember.
I'm curious if you remember any other features that Bill might have
picked up from Emacs or ITS? From you or anyone else.
Another interesting example would be job control that was done by Jim
Kulp.
