1. For Rob Craig - ed.ex request
A couple of suggestions/requests:
1. Add a "Full Window" option when more than one window is open.
Pressing the current window(pane)'s Function key to toggle
the current window from pane to full window.
2. Once a full Window option is available, the number of windows,
or rather panes that can be opened can be increased to 20 by
using CONTROL + FUNCTION_KEY. At some resolutions, you would
have to alternate the background foreground colors of the panes.
Just brainstorming, I can see how you might not want to devote any
time to improving ed.ex, GUI editor's being all the rage.

Thanks.
I'll add these ideas to my list.
An idea I had recently was some sort of mild encryption option
(rot-13?) for ed, so I could keep sensitive files in a state where
spyware, viruses, etc. would find it difficult to
read or search the file, but when I use ed, I could easily
display/edit the file, without having to remember or type any
password.
