 Sorry for the confusion. I could swear I had seen it in the FAQ
 somewhere; because what I has seen and confused it with was the
 batch editor "sed".

 OK, I'll try rhino-hide.... with some trepidation, because it 
 is another big complicated package to learn in order to get
 to a fairly simple objective.....

 My assembler programming colleague who is not on the 'net
 (surprise, surprise) will just have to fit us an LS120 each
 and he will end up with a big batch of new stuff and new
 manuals  to print and learn :-> Might as well send him
 the whole djgpp environment in one fell swoop!
