>>16 no. I mean I should add it to 'man ed' on my machine. man ed /does/ explain everything but kinda in an overly verbose way (which it kinda has to) which is hard to parse for specifics if you don't already know them. it's easy to grep the man if you know what you are looking for, but in the case you don't you basically are stuck rereading the whole thing to find the one piece of info you need. like quick is % or $ the last line? i think it's $ but not positive, and running 'man ed | grep last' spews too much text for the emergency mode of plan9 to display the relevant line ' 2. The character `$' addresses the last line of the' (also see how shit that line is written for greping) not that it'd acctually help in emergency mode, because for some reason sed is in the paqfs but ed isn't on my machine. but that's another story
