I'm doing some work concerned with programmable editing and I'm looking
for information about existing programmable editors. To avoid
confusion, I consider an editor to be programmable if it has an
embedded language that allows the user to program the operation of the
editor. I know of TECO, Gosling's Emacs, and several Lisp-based
editors that can be programmed. I'm also aware of a couple of other
editors that have some primitive programming facilities, but they
aren't really suitable for serious programming. Are the aforementioned
systems the only programmable editors around, or are there others?

I know that Editor-People is the "correct" place to send this to, but
I sent a copy there and it hasn't appeared yet.burton@fortune.UUCP (01/12/84)

The WYLBUR editor developed originally at Stanford University has some
primitive programming via an "exec" language, as well as very sophisticated
(for IBM mainframes, anyway) definitions of lines/columns, text strings
to list/find/change/delete, etc.
