Actually there is quite a bit that can be done to enhance ED. Al Boehm published in Quanta magazine April 2002 a DO file to move blocks of superbasic under ED. Simon Goodwin wrote an extension called, I think, LDEF to enhance ED by accessing procedures and functions by name, and finally he also wrote a clipboard program and extension that allowed copying and pasting into Superbasic ED and other tasks. Mark Knight tweaked this program and published an update. i expect the Dilwyn's repository will have all these programs.
