Adapted from http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed.msg.html

look at a typical novice's session with the mighty ed:

golem$ ed
help
?
?
?
quit
?
exit
?
bye
?
hello
?
eat flaming death
?
^C
?
^D
?

Note the consistent user interface and error reportage. Ed is generous enough to flag errors, yet prudent enough not to overwhelm the novice with verbosity.
