At Yale we had one called "e" that ran
on our early bitmap terminals.
The GEM display system, in case anyone is curious. Here's a description:

Unrelated to DR's GEM desktop. It was based on Ned Irons' PDP-10 screen
editor that ran on Omron glass ttys,
and was a cousin of INed which Walt Bilofsky wrote for Interactive Systems.
I'm curious if any listing or simliar may have survived for these?
