It was essentially a word processor is my guess. Although, it probably had some computing skills too. A giant, 12 pound calculator. This article brought back to mind the typing class I had to take in middle school. Did you have this too? It wasn't called "typing" though it was called "keyboarding". I remember being proud that I was one of the fastest in the class. I really enjoyed typing... still do. It's pretty amazing how little I write with a pen/pencil these days.
