IS THIS A JOKE???!!  I thought the entire Amiga community ditched Ed YEARS
AGO.  Anyone who edits Anything has a PD or commercial editor by now.
Come on, Ed wouldn't strain the resources of a VIC-20, and it doesn't
deserve to run on an Amiga.  Ed is just another embarrassment like NotePad
which should be deleted the moment you get your computer.
