I have a account on a remote twenex PDP10. There is a

teco-emacs.
Yes, it should be TECO Emacs. Normal use of Emacs rarely needs TECO
commands.
To get a TECO minibuffer type Meta-Altmode (Esc Esc). You should get a
small window at the top of the terminal in which you can enter TECO
commands. Execute them with double altmode as you would in any TECO.
I draw my own conclusions from these observations
which are far away
from all these myths.
I try to stay with the facts. I actually use TECO Emacs almost daily,
and I have built it from sources. Some other information is based on
email conversations among those who wrote Emacs.
