The ed command still has its value, after all those years...
Note that knowing your basic ed commands is still of considerable
value with present-day vi.
BTW, the commands as shown in John's message would have
resulted in a file /etc/chandev.conf with a single line
containing the text "qeth0,0xee00,0xee01,0xee02".
Given the amount of trouble he did with four echo commands
in sequence, I suspect he intended the result to be different.
