   @weekend_editor @sigue Yours truly once wrote some code to draw boxes on the screen with command names inside, linked to buttons, that spat out the correct syntax for command-line stuff on a VAX for scientists using VT100's who weren't into learning VAX command-line syntax. And I still use sed. OMG I'm old. How did this happen? I wish to speak to a manager right now!

     I know, right?

     Like, writing a Unix shell script and people expect me to use sed? That looks like an editor I was using in 1974!
