Computer Science Department Unix Primer
eded is an editor that dates back to days when terminals weren't quite so full-featured as they are now. Like vi, it has a command and an input mode, but it doesn't display the contents of the file you're editing until you give it a print command on a set of lines... Ed, man! !man ed (humor) UH IT doesn't have a primer for ed, but the man page is quite informative. (Thanks to Princeton for putting up a man2html script on their website) Emergency procedure for exiting ed without doing damage to your files: at the prompt ">" type q to exit (or if you've already messed something up, type Q to exit without saving.) |
