Package: ed
Version: 0.2-20
Severity: minor
The manual page says "(.,.)m(.) Moves lines in the buffer ... The current
address is set to the last line moved". It's not completely clear to me
whether "address of last line moved" is coupled to an int or a char*.
Consider this:
a
foo
bar
.
2m0
p
{foo or bar?}
The last line moved is line 2, so p prints what is on line 2 (now "foo"), yes?
OTOH, the last line moved is "bar", so p prints "bar", yes? (It prints bar).
I suggest "The current address is set to the address of the last line moved, in
its new location.").

Thanks for reporting this.
I have modified the text to "The current address is set to the new
address of the last line moved". I hope its meaning is clear now.
