Here's a script that seems to work:  (to be run as: sed -n -e script)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
s/BEGIN//
t nums
b
: nums
n
s/END//
t
p
b nums
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was going to e-mail but thought this solution is rather kludgy. Does 
someone have a nice elegant solution?

Yes, I know it can be done in awk etc....
