Hi Peter,
And a bit of fun using terminal on an android tablet to ssh into a
Raspberry Pi and then editing with nano. The damned up/down arrows and
CTRL/ALT kept disappearing.
This is why it's useful to know a bit of ed(1). It doesn't need much to
be working on the keyboard. :-) I use it most days when I want to make
a quick edit using the information visible in the terminal that would be
replaced if I start a full-screen editor.

I remember ed. I don't think that I have used it for about 30 years and I can't
remember what OS that was on. I did use ed, but also edlin on DOS boxes.
