| 4 | DESCRIPTION |
| 5 | When in 'ed', the prompt is ':'. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Ed has two modes, command mode and insert mode. The insert |
| 8 | mode has no prompt. You exit the insert mode by typing a |
| 9 | single '.' on a line. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | All commands have the following syntax: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | X,Ycmd |
| 14 | |
| 15 | or |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Xcmd |
| 18 | |
| 19 | For example: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 1,10p |
| 22 | Will print line 1 to 10. |
| 23 | 1,5d |
| 24 | Will delete line 1 to 5. |
| 25 | 8p |
| 26 | Will print line 8. |
| 27 | A '.' is the "current line". The current line is the last line |
| 28 | referenced. If you want to print last line + 10 more: |
| 29 | .,.+10p |

| 31 | NOTE |
| 32 | These manpages seem a bit antique, though still correct. For a |
| 33 | better detailed help, invoke ed and use the ``h'' command. |
| 34 | Also you could look into the man page for ed(1) on you nearest |
| 35 | Unix box. And for a bit of fun you can try the good old |
| 36 | quiz(6), invoke as ``quiz function ed-command''. |
