If I'm recalling though, the IBM terminals were data entry things
designed exclusively for form fill out. Entire screens had to be
redrawn to change one character. (Or at least many of the models
were like that - maybe not all of them).

For quite a while in the 70s I found it easier to edit programs on
punched cards than any of the online "solutions" available at the time.

Heck, you could cut & paste by grabbing a chunk of cards and moving
them in the deck. You could insert or delete characters by "duplicating"
the card and holding down one of the cards really hard so it couldn't move
when the keypunch tried to advance it.

Loads of fun :-).
