I "didnt" quite understand sed either untill i took a gander at;
http://www.cornerstonemag.com/sed/sed1line.txt
It has examples for this sort of thing.
I did have another URL which contained a very good manuel, one i could
even understand, but, jep you guessed, i have missplaced it. Maybe it can
be retreived from the above URL.
