AAAAHHHHH!

I found some reading in *man fc* because I wanted a better way to do edits
on the command history in POSIX (you know, being used to that proprietary OS
named MPE)...I ended up at *man ed*, and I just can't say enough about how
impressed I am. Yes folks, ed is really something.

I never thought I'd see the day that a line editor was so ^%$#@ bad, that
it's easier to just retype the command line you wanted to edit (no matter
how long or complicated the command line was, and no matter how many times
it takes you to get it right) than to use the line editor.

Still positive, and smiling real nicely.
