The main drawback is that many of the regular expression characters have been replaced by Macintosh extended character set "option" characters. I suppose this was done to be different, or to give the impression that this is a new innovation, invented by the people who programmed MPW Shell. You get used to it after a while, however. MPW Shell can be used to do "significant automatic editing of a file" and is perhaps as good as vi/ex in this regard. Earle R.
