I've been playing around with this crazy idea of sending input
into Ed from another program. This would let me creat macros, etc.
for use with Ed. (I know i could use ARexx and some other editors
to do this better, probably, but I first thought of this about
2 years ago and the idea just wont go away.)
How would I go about it? I can find open Ed windows on the screen.
Would I just send his IDCMP some faked messages, or is it more complicated
than that? I wish I'd never thought of this.
