Davy, in another thread, lamented the lack of support for the following control statements in ed.ex. The following code should do a fair job of supporting those features:

-- search for "-- expandable words and corresponding text" 
-- comment out the existing code block for the following 
-- constant assignments and then paste this code afterward: 
 
constant expand_word = {"if", "for", "while", "elsif", "switch", "ifdef", "loop", 
						"procedure", "type", "function"}, 
 
	expand_text = {" then",  "=  to  by  do",  " do",  " then", " do", " then", " do", 
						"()",  "()",  "()" 
					   } 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
-- in the subsequent procedure "try_auto_complete": insert the following code after 
-- the last "elsif" clause and before the "else insert_string" clause: 
 
elsif find(word, {"switch"}) then 
			insert_string(begin &  
					leading_white & "\tcase  then" & CR & 
					  "end " & expand_word[wordnum]) 
elsif find(word, {"ifdef"}) then 
			insert_string(begin &  
					  leading_white & "elsifdef  then" & CR & 
					  "end " & expand_word[wordnum]) 
elsif find(word, {"loop"}) then 
			insert_string(begin & CR & 
 				         leading_white & "\tuntil" & CR & 
					  "end " & expand_word[wordnum]) 
 

The output should look like this:

switch  do 
    case  then 
end switch 
 
ifdef  then 
elsifdef  then 
end ifdef 
 
loop  do 
 
    until 
end loop

LOL... you got that right! Thanks - I edited that code snippet.

Your welcome, Davy,

But, somehow, I'm thinking your still going to leave poor old ed for something au courant.

If you use Linux, I encourage you to give Geany a try.

Will Ken's additions be included in the "official" ed? I assume they will, but just checking in case I need to save a copy of ed so it's not overwritten when I update to future versions of Eu.
