I would surely do that; I'm not about to make default ed inclusion in 2009 my life call. Could you (or anybody else) point me in that right direction if I wanted to do that. I guess I should find some source code for ed and compile it using the maemo SDK, right? Any site containing the details of the general process? (E.g., compiling statically, etc.)

Thanks again for all the feedback!
