I've just gone through my archives and found a slightly faded sheet of
line printer paper (readable because it never had any green on it) that
contains:

.TYPE START.TEC
!TECO.TEC V03.00![90,0X9[00,0X0[20,0X2
and carries on for about 4400 bytes of apparant gibberish [1] with a lot of
chars from $:.,"[]& etc.
At the end is:
.SET TT CONSOL 1
So time to guess the OS this came from.

Part way through is:   "EJ::SLOVE$"SNot War?
Which is under an earlier conditional for 'MAKE'

Other possible error texts include:
- You don't have a refresh scope
- Your terminal is not an interactive scope
- Your terminal doesn't support scrolling

[1] when I printed this I parsed it. I think the part I quoted reads,
pop buffer 9, apply commands in buffer 9 to lines zero to zero (which
might mean all of the buffer), pop buffer 0, execute contents...
