To use ED, AmigaDOS's full-screen line-oriented editor, type
ED <filename> from the CLI prompt.  Once you're in ED, use the
ESC key to get the command-prompt line.  On this line, you can type...

a "text" insert a line of text below the cursor
b        goes to bottom of file
d        deletes the line where the cursor is
e ...    search for and delete a string
f        moves the cursor right
i "text" insert a line of text above the cursor
j        join lines
m #      move to line #
n        move down
p        move up
q        quits without saving the file
s        insert a line
t        goes to top of file
u        undelete character deleted with the DEL key
x        save the file and quit

If you precede the commands  d, f, n, p, s, u  by a number, the command will
execute that many times.

I use ED (a) to create and modify EXEC files, such as S/STARTUP-SEQUENCE,
and (b) when I get so annoyed with ABasiC's "editor" that I want to cold work
my ABasiC disk.
