Oh, maybe you wanted me to explain the sed script itself?
/\^$/s/\t/\ /g;/:[0-9]\+:/{h;d};/^[ \t]*\^/G;
is the same as:
# convert tabs to spaces on the pointer line.
/\^$/ s/\t/\ /g;
# looks for lines containing :(digits): and save it.
/:[0-9]\+:/ { h; d };
# prints that held line after the pointer line.
/^[ \t]*\^/ G;
At least, that's the way I /think/ it was supposed to work... now I'm
wondering why I didn't use the same matching expression and combine
lines 1 and 3... hmm...
