Hi Misc,

I just got Michael Lucas' Ed Mastery. While reading through the book I
tried few things and I realized that viewing trailing spaces on OpenBSD
6.3 doesn't work the way described in man pages, Michael's book, and
other OSs (I tired Red Hat 7.5, FreeBSD 11.1p10, DFBSD 5.2.1)

Namely command 

,l

doesn't allow me to see trailing spaces. I would expect to see a dollar
sign at the end of the line.

Am I missing something obvious here. I like probably most of you use ed
only when trying to edit something in the single user mode so I don't
recall using this particular command before.

Cheers,
Predrag

P.S. It is nice to see that after Jacek Artymiak, Michael took a shot
and wrote this short book on Ed. The book is nice read and so far my
main complaint with it is the lack of the summary of all Ed commands
which is actually present in man pages as well as in this GNU manual
(obviously different version of the editor)
