TECO invokes the TECO text editor.

Format
 TECO file-spec                    to edit an existing file
 TECO out-file-spec=in-file-spec   to edit from one file to another
 TECO @file-spec                   to execute a TECO command file

As TECO is not a built-in DCL command, you need to enter
          TECO :== $SYS$SYSTEM:TEC TECO
 in your LOGIN.COM file.  Please also read what HELP TECO INI says.

*Initialization
TECO decodes its commands with a built-in command decoder.  If TECO
 finds a file named TECO.INI in your top level (root) directory,
 it is assumed to be a TECO macro and it executed every start up.
 To disable the search for TECO.INI, the qualifier /NOINI can be used.

Your LOGIN.COM file can define the TECO command any one of four ways:

   Command definition                 TECO.INI check? TECF00.TMP usage?
  TECO :== $SYS$SYSTEM:TEC TECO              Yes             Yes
  TECO :== $SYS$SYSTEM:TEC TECO/NOINI        No              Yes
  TECO :== $SYS$SYSTEM:TEC TECO/NOMEM        Yes             No
  TECO :== $SYS$SYSTEM:TEC TECO/NOINI/NOMEM  No              No
*Memory
TECO automatically remembers the file being edited.  The file's
 name is stored in a file called TECF00.TMP;1 in your top level
 (root) directory.  If you invoke TECO without specifying a file-spec,
 TECO will read its memory file and re-edit the last edited file.
 TECO's memory feature is completely inhibited by the /NOMEMORY
 qualifier.
*Qualifiers
/FIND
 Initially position to (find) the last marked position in the input
 file.  Position is marked with the VTEDIT ESCape-F commands.
/INSPECT
 Simply read the file-spec, don't create a new edited copy.
/NOINI
 Do not attempt to find or use TECO's private initialization
 file (TECO.INI in your root directory).
/NOMEMORY
 Do not read, write, or use TECO's memory file (TECF00.TMP in your
 root directory).
/VTEDIT
 Automatically invoke the TECO keypad editor VTEDIT.
/VTEDIT:HOLD
 Set the VTEDIT keypad editor into hold screen mode.
/VTEDIT:SEEALL
 Set the VTEDIT keypad editor into SEEALL mode.
/VTEDIT:HOLD:SEEALL
 Set the VTEDIT keypad editor into both hold screen and SEEALL modes.
