How many of us keep up our ed reflexes? I've found 4 reasons for still
using ed from time to time:

a. telnet from a FUCKING WINDOWS BOX. (ie: not-quite-right-vt100-emulators.)

b. shell scripts (people that use sed to a temp file then copy it back
	drive me nuts.)

c. hardcopy terminals (less relevant since I abondoned my decwriter-3
	during my last move, but I'll get another one)

d. Talking a non-tech person through a difficult edit over the phone.

Anyone here actually know TECO though? I've taken a look at the docs
a few times, and been scared away each time...
