                     15:      _E_d_s_c_r_i_p_t takes specifications for global edits from standard
                     16:      input and outputs an edit script for _e_d(_1) to standard out-
                     17:      put.  _E_d_s_c_r_i_p_t is primarily useful for making complicated

                     21: 
                     22:      Each specification begins with a delimiter, followed by a

                     32:      acter may be used for the delimiter, but the same character
                     33:      must be used in all three positions in any specification,
                     34:      and the delimiter character cannot be used in the target or
                     35:      replacement strings.
