Antonio, When ed was handed to you, it already reset the exit status on successful write, sigh. Replacing that behavior with a command-line option is useless if ed is invoked by another process, as is the case when EDITOR=ed. And setting EDITOR='ed -l' breaks when ed doesn't recognize option `-l'. Leave Karl out of it. He's smarter than that. -AM
