Sed is a batch editor; see v2gnu/sed3028b.zip.  It takes a script of 
editing command, and then modifies each file passed to it as an argument 
using those commands.  For example, the command

	sed -e s/foo/bar/g file

will produce to the standard output the named FILE with every instance of 
`foo' replaced with `bar'.
