Being less than a proficient typist, the shorter the command the less chance of screwing it up.
“ty” worked fine for me most of the time. Eventually, one of the local DEC yokels added a “list” command as an option which was even better. It let you display one page at a time until you hit Ctrl-C which exited the program.
Whew! How keyboard commands have changed over time!
That’s right, what have they done to Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Y? I still expect their DCL behavior, dammit!
