 Emacs has similar options. It’s handy in being able to deal with large
amounts of command output.
 For example, I might search for places in multiple source files that need
some fix applied, and collect the list in a command window. Then, as I fix
each one, I delete that entry from the list.

EVE has:
<DO>
DCL whatever command
But again: very useful back when one was working on one physical VT
terminal - today one can have multiple windows open and can just
copy paste from a terminal window to the editor.
