 From this [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 devel/browse_thread/thread/c0543314ff9c15cb sage-devel] thread:
 {{{
 By the way, I discovered accidentally that from the command line (not
 the notebook) if you type:

 sage: ed   # or %ed or %edit

 then it opens up your favorite editor (whatever is set by the $EDITOR
 shell variable).  Then in the editor you can type

 def FF(x):
     long definition here
     which would be really annoying
     to type on the command line

 then save it -- it gets written to a temporary file -- and the code
 gets executed and you have thus redefined FF.  Then later you can do

 sage: ed FF

 and it will let you modify your code.  This is an ipython feature, it
 seems.  Should it be described somewhere in the Sage documentation?
 }}}
 The following commands should at least be documented in the Developers'
 Guide together with explanation on how to use them for interactive
 development:

  1. `load`
  1. `attach`
  1. `iload`
  1. `ed`
  1. `%ed`
  1. `%edit`
  1. `edit()`
