Defining new functions with the TTY editor

[pamoroso]

How should I invoke the TTY editor to define a new function? EDITF apparently allows only to edit existing functions:

4_ (EDITMODE 'TELETYPE)
SEDIT:SEDIT
5_ (EDITF NOT-YET-DEFINED)
Could not find fns definition for NIL.Could not find fns definition for 
NIL

That's a bug. See the manual entry for EDITE, item 8.

Did you mean the manual entry for EDITF? The EDITE one has no items.

I'll create an issue for this discussion.

Yeah, sorry - fat fingers on phone. I'd note that this bug is at least 25 years old - it's present in the internal/venuesysouts/lisp.venuesysout from 2000.
