By the way, in SciTECO you *can* write MI$$ with dollar signs. Not that 
you need any kind of command line termination in order to execute macro 
`I` - that would happen immediately the moment you type `I`. But 
dollar-dollar would terminate the command line just like Escape-Escape 
would. The reason is that I made dollar synonymous to Escape as a regular 
command (not as a string terminator). And Escape-Escape is a regular 
command in SciTECO instead of an immediate editing construct as it was in 
classic TECOs. This also means, you don't have to fear accidentally 
terminating a command line when pressing two Escapes in a row in order to 
pass an empty string argument. FRfoo$$ is completely safe in SciTECO - the 
escapes are part of the FR syntax. Only afterwards, parsing resumes with 
regular commands. So to delete with FR and terminate the command line, you 
would have to write FRfoo$$$$. But you don't terminate the command line 
often. You can edit an entire day without $$. The process will grow 
in size, but it's still a fraction of VS Code, I guarantee you that.
