As far as I know, EDIT was never a vanilla version of TECO... EDIT
was EDIT, TECO was TECO. EDIT did, however, look sort of like TECO
in that it had single-character and double-character commands with
arguments, ending with <ESCAPE>. But where, in TECO, you would
do 'LT', in EDIT you do 'AL'.

They are NOT the same program.
