Sorry to take things away from the reason for your original posting 
again Doug but this subject has me interested.  I am currently in a 
cooperative education position ( organised by QUT) and learning the 
ropes as far as syssdmin is concerned.  I thought that once I had vi 
mastered the world was at my feet :~)3

Of course the situations that need ed would never be left up to me 
anyway but now that I know I think I will have to take a bit of time out 
to be at least familiar with ed.

Greg, thanks for the list of tasks.  I will use them to check my 
proficiency in vi and ed.

Thanks for the tips.

Oh for what it is worth Doug, I don't know of any 'command line' editor 
that is simple.  Seems to me that you have answered your own question 
about the best way to do it.  If you are comfortable in Windows then use 
notepad let ftp do the file format coversion for you and make your life 
easy.

Cheers.

Scott.
