Lots of the editing stuff in a few of the editors is essentially identical to sed, using the same commands. Any editor will have similar infrastructure for dealing with files, lines, actual editing, and such. So maybe during the Christmas break (new $DAYJOB means I get paid holidays for a change), I'll go over toybox sed and see what I can reuse for boxes. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
