I've never known sed to be confused by newlines within quotes. It will
accept multiple commands separated by newlines or semicolons.
I suspect the user was confused because he didn't get the command
prompt back after he pressed return, a situation that would have also
occurred if the sed was written in your style. I've changed the sed so
it is all on one line now.
