Interesting that you are working on an ed implementation in Scheme. I've been working on something along those lines myself, in fits and starts. I haven't gotten too far with it, but my basic idea is to make a library of data structures and functions suitable for creating ed-style interfaces where the basic metaphor is a buffer of lines. -- Chris
