 6 Function:
 7 Invokes the "ted" editor to edit the text of the unprocessed transaction or
 8 to build a new transaction.

10 
11 Control arguments:
12 -auto_write
13    specifies that the "w" request is not required in order to
14    save editing changes.  See "Notes".
15 -fill, -fi
16    specifies that the transaction is to be refilled upon exit from
17    the editor. This is the default unless the -no_input_fill control
18    argument was given to the forum command or unless the -no_fill
19    control argument was given to the talk or reply request.
20 -no_auto_write
21    specifies that the "w" request is required in order to
22    save editing changes.  See "Notes".  (Default)
23 -no_fill, -nfi
24    specifies that the transaction is not to be refiled upon exit from
25    the editor.
26 
27 
28 Notes:  If -auto_write is not specified, then the write (w) request must
29 be used to reflect any changes made to the transaction back to forum.
30 The write request may be used as often as desired to checkpoint the
31 editing process.
32 
33 If the quit (q) request is issued and the transaction has been modified
34 since it was last written, ted will query for permission to exit.  If
35 permission is given, any changes made since the last write request (if
36 any) will be lost.
37 
38 
39 If issued before use of the write request, the request line
40      1,$dr
41 will restore the original transaction text to the buffer.  If given
42 after a write request, this request line will restore the transaction
43 as saved by the last write request given in the buffer.
