"SOS is a line-oriented text editor that operates on sequenced files.
SOS provides the following features:
- Simple, but powerful, commands. Each command usually consists of a single-lettered "verb", followed by a number or range of numbers indicating the line(s) on which the commandis to perform.
- An "indirect command" file. The user can put a frequently-used sequence of commands into a file. When the file is called, SOS will then perform the commands.
- The full ASCII character set, including lower-case characters.
- A search facility. This enables the user to search through a file with strings of text instead of line numbers."
