OK. You got me going on this for a solution when GNU sed is not available.
(See what you did.)
Instead of the ksh example, here's a non-GNU sed one that works. It works
on GNU sed too.
sed '
$!N
s/\(^.*\n.*:\)\(this\)\(.*$\)/\1that\3/
p
d
'
Here's an awk that is essentially the equivalent of the ksh thing.
awk -F':| ' '
BEGIN{ x = 1 }
(x = 0||(x-1)) == 1 {$2 = "that"}
{print $1":"$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9}
'
