Good times of ISPF on IBM 3090/TSO. First you had to allocate a file on a dataset (ibm hates simplicity) and then you edited the text or copied with the pair "cc/mm" followed by a/b. No keyboard shortcuts, no interactive shell, only a data-entry panel and the incessant "tlac tlac" sound of the 3270 keyboard
