Note that not all ed editors are the same. Some have a 32mb file limit (old Solaris for example), while other's like FreeBSD's can hand files over 100MB.

(I ported FreeBSD's ed to Solaris to deal with that years ago.)

#EdEditor

Anyone knows how to reload the current file in Ed?

I could type `e filename.txt` [1] to load that file into the buffer, but if I just want to reload the current file, is there a shortcut? I want to undo some changes.
