The display editor added a visual `Select > Command > Execute > Print` alternative to the teletype editor:
The display editor was a visual alternative to the teletype editor—click one or

expressions.

1. __pretty-print window__ (left), allowed click to select expressions (current=solid-lined, previous=dash-lined)
1. __command menu__ (right), allowed click to perform an operation on selections (current=arg1, previous=arg2)
1. __type-in window__ (below), allowed manual typing of expressions. on enter, it becomes selected and clickable
