Command Name : Ed
Function : Edit text files
Arguments : <filename>
Location : C directory
Ed is used to edit ASCII text files. ASCII is the standard format for text.
You can use Ed to create script files or just as a (very) simple tool for
writing text. There are many PD and Shareware text editors available that
are much better. For example, this text was written using EdWord by M.
Reddy, which is Shareware and ASCII compatible. On the Extras2.0 disk there
is a text editor called MEMACS. MEMACS is a good text editor but lacks a
file requester and is quite complicated to use for a beginner.
Examples
Ed S:Startup-sequence
Edits your boot disk's startup-sequence
Ed Hello
Edits the file "Hello" in the current directory. If the file does
not exist a file with that name is created for you to edit.
