You must be running TPC UNIX or you wouldn't have to ask. The definitive
reference manuals are "An Introduction to Display Editing with VI",
"EX Reference Manual", "EDIT: A Tutorial", "Tutorial Introduction to ED",
and "Advanced Editing on UNIX". They are distributed with every BSD based
system I know of and are numbered USD:{15,16,14,12,13} in 4.3 BSD.
