It was a terrible beast. One place to submit card decks +
undergraduate procrastination was an unhappy combination. Later
there was a crude form a timesharing grafted on to it, with some very
shrill terminals attached. The details are mercifully vague but I
think you basically had a 'session' and whatever files you created in
that session didn't persist once you'd logged out.
I remember trying to use the C compiler on that DEC-20 but never got
very far with it; I thought the SAIL compiler was more interesting.
Shows what foresight I had...
