        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION

        !            10: \fIEdscript\fR is primarily useful for making complicated literal
        !            11: substitutions that involve characters that have syntactic meaning
        !            12: to \fIed(1)\fR and hence are difficult to enter in \fIed(1)\fR.
        !            13: .PP
        !            14: Each specification begins with a delimiter, followed by a target string,
        !            15: followed by the delimiter, followed by the replacement string, followed
        !            16: by the delimiter.

        !            24: consecutive asterisks.
        !            25: Any character may be used for the delimiter, but the same character
        !            26: must be used in all three positions in any specification, and the
        !            27: delimiter character cannot be used in the target or replacement
        !            28: strings.
