1 Ted is a more extensive version of the Qedx text editor. Like any
2 editor, Ted provides means for creating and editing text, but in addition, it
3 enables you to write "macros" that are more powerful than those in Qedx
4 because they have at their disposal all the functions generally available in
5 programming languages.

7 Ted is also a line editor like Qedx; it edits text line by line. To
8 edit text, you specify line numbers and issue "requests" much as you do in
9 Qedx, except that the symbols for requests are somewhat different. Ted also
10 uses buffers that enable you to keep more than one segment of text in the
11 editor at the same time.
