1975Pygmalion: you do a computation once on icons, and its 'remembering' editor saves the steps to run again. David Canfield Smith, Stanford.
See also: Olivetti Programma 101's record-program switch, c.1965.
“an interactive "remembering" editor for icons, which executes and (optionally) saves operations for later re-execution.”
It both does the operations and keeps them, which is record-and-replay.
Someone opened the dated document itself. The source.
