Chat, how much of a transgression adding syntax highlighting to my #ed build is? Because I did it using #rlwrap filters and... ANSI color escape-adding #ed script.

I'm using #ed (the "original" text editor) to periodically edit a file I'm interested in.

I'm not sure I'd "endorse" it, and it's hardly "friendly", but I'm not finding it TOO bad at the moment. Will I switch over to ed permanently, I wonder?

BTW, it helps a lot when combined with #rlwrap.

I'm actually contemplating (although not seriously) making a vim-like editor using #guile.

Just while we're here on openbsd fvwm mostly-default, rlwrap stops middle-click-paste into
$ rlwrap ed
or
$ rlwrap ecl
etc. X paste without #rlwrap works fine, it's rlwrap's problem (not intentional, right?). Sweeping and pasting ascii characters works fine with rlwrap. Sweeping and pasting a mixture of ascii and unicode characters creates bizarre results.

How to kill a telnet client with rlwrap since ^] does not work?

When I use telnet with rlwrap it looks like there is no way to kill the client. Am I missing something here or I really have to kill the process with the kill command?
