It printed tis quaint bit of propaganda.

One Bell System.=C2=A0 It works.

This was fin= e until one day I=E2=80=99m at work in a big bull pen computer room when Be= rnie, one of my co-workers, shouts.
=E2=80=9CWhat=E2=80=99s all t= his Bell System crud in the editor?=E2=80=9D

My re= action is, =E2=80=9CWell, it=E2=80=99s all Bell System crud.=E2=80=9D =C2= =A0 =C2=A0I walk over to his terminal and find he is typing 1 repeatedly at= the shell prompt and getting the above message. =C2=A0(This was back in th= e old /bin/ed days where 1 got you to the top of the file). =C2=A0 =C2=A0 I= had to point out he wasn=E2=80=99t in the editor.

Later that day, the program was changed to say:

Y= ou=E2=80=99re not in the editor, Bernie.

This I th= ink made it into one of the BRL releases and occassionally got inquiries as= to who Bernie is.
