Wasn't that abbreviation from "pipe"? As in - this is a pipe that you can use to connect terminal to a file, file to a printer... and yes, file to a file (that's cp/copy).

It also has an “ed” that will make you miss UNIX’s “ed”. I’ve used it to write programs and it is not fun!

I was a kid at the time, so I only got as far as writing and modifying a few programs in MBASIC.

Anyone that got anything nontrivial to work on those systems deserves much respect.
