I plan to support these changes as long as I can, so if there is a new
version of TECO, I will modify these mods correspondingly. The only ones
liable to cause anyone else problems are the patches to OBJ modules. I use
DISOBJ to find out where the patches go.
At any rate, if you have problems, call me.
It would really be nice if this stuff got put into an "official" TECO release.

To put them in, put this stuff in the UIC with TECO, and do "@MAKE"

They do the following:
1) On an EI command, if the device/UIC are omitted, it will
first look in the default device/UIC, and if not found, it will
then look in LB:[2,2].
We use this to keep a "library" UIC of handy TECO macros, including
a nifty TECO.TEC.

2) Some fixes to terminal I/O for RSX-11D and IAS.

3) When creating a file with an explicit version of ";1",
it will re-write it if it is already there. (I would prefer to
have a switch on the file-spec to specify /UP, but I didn't want to
add things to the external interface.

4) When doing a normal edit (EB), it creates the output file with
an initial allocation equal to the size of the input file. This
makes the file creation slightly faster.

5) Patch to SCREEN.OBJ and TECO.OBJ, to take better advantage
of "split-screen" mode.
The one in SCREEN will paint a blob for a space on a HAZELTINE (or
another CRT which doesn't have inverse video.
The one in TECO.OBJ turns off the automatic echoing of the current
text line on <LF> and <BS> if split-screen is on.

6) If invoked as MUN, TECO will lower it's priority after 30 seconds.
This will keep a long MUN (for example: MUN SEARCH) from screwing
up the other users.

7) Changed the "IMMEDIATE" mode operation slightly. This is
un-documented, but very handy. It lets you write a TECO macro to
get control when you use the alternate keypad, like the immediate
mode <LF> and <BS>.
This TECO macro is invoked by "n1,n2MA$$", where n1 & n2 tell
you which key was pressed.
I fixed it so that it would pass the entire 7-bit value to the macro
(if I want it stripped to the lower 5 bits I can do it in the
macro), and took out the echoing of the command.

8) To go along with this, I have a macro (KEYS.TES), which
has most of the useful functionality of VTEDIT, but which
is much, much faster and smaller. This works even on a tube (such
as a hazeltine) that doesn't have an alternate keypad, you just to
give it a double keystroke.

9) To go along with these, there is a TECO.TEC, which will load-up
KEYS, go into split-screen mode, and fly!
I fixed up CRTRUB.MAC, to add CRT support for a HAZELTINE 1500
(we have both VT-100's & HAZELTINES), and split-screen even works
on a tube that does not have it!!!!!!! (Albeit not as nice as on
a VT100).

10) The TECO.TEC supplied here set up these things, and if invoked
as TES, starts up in split screen mode, if as TEV, starts up
in VTEDIT mode. We keep this in LB:[2,2], so everyone gets started
with it, unless they over-ride it with their own TECO.TEC.
