sed(1) allows you to give the script on the command line like this:

	sed -e 'script' file1 > file2

Some of the sed commands, like a\ and i\ seem to need additional
lines of input.  I know that if I use the "-f sedfile" option I
can stash the commands in a file, but is there a way I can use
"append" and "insert" with the -e option?
