Would not be easier to use vi, (maybe was vim?,) ? I don't remember
how it ended up there, but we had vi on all VMS boxes, it is the same
syntax of sed and ed, like 1,$s/something/somethingelse/

be nice if the nodes in the output of NCP SHOW KNOWN NODES were hyperlinks.

On Unix I would just replace all the "(" characters with an opening <a> +
"(" tag and all the ")" with a closing </a> tag + ")" using sed.

What's the correct DCL way to do this?
