We are running Ultrix VAX Lisp V2.2 on Ultrix-32 V3.1 (Rev 9). One of the instructors wants to use the built-in editor feature (ed "file") from this version of lisp. The equivalent VMS version has such a feature, but it is not present in the Ultrix version (and is documented as such). We have tried to convince this professor of the benefits of job control and the features present in GNU emacs that make the transition from editing lisp programs to testing them easy, but to no avail. He still wants the VMS style built in editor feature. Does anyone know how this feature can be built into VAX Lisp? Please e-mail your response, and thanks if you can help.
