Added to my list...

Having had to learn to use TECO in the past (a contract job when still at 
Uni), I used to type a name into it to see what it did (every character 
was a command)...

Now, the most that I can remember these days is:

    E$ - edit and take a backup

Well, as least to delete a line in VI was "dd"...  It was difficult to do 
something dangerous with it.
