      `ed' is the standard text editor.  The man page (ed(1)) says so.

Yikes!  I started to say, "It's not a text editor, it's a line
editor."  But of course, it is both.  I DID read the man page, though,
and find no reference to its being "the standard text editor."  The
man pages may differ according to the flavor of Unix one is running.
My system is Umax (Encore Multimax).
