Default

yes thanks,,,,meant to "SAY" packages "NOT" ports, hope roydd85 see's the value in the above correction. I appreciate it .

i think "ed" is a default line editor also on most unix/linux systems, mac os as well (if you're into line editing), personally i quit using ed years ago (wrting hundreds of batch files on mainframes) but can use it in a pinch if a foreign machine has no nano or ee or ability to get them.

Ibara's above comment conerning vi or emacs holds water if one wants to become an accomplished unix user. I would prefer either over "ed"......
