-2) If crypt(3) is available, files can be read and written using DES
- encryption. The `x' command prompts the user to enter a key used for
- encrypting/ decrypting subsequent reads and writes. If only a newline
- is entered as the key, then encryption is disabled. Otherwise, a key

+2) The POSIX interactive global commands `G' and `V' are extended to
support multiple commands, including `a', `i' and `c'. The command
format is the same as for the global commands `g' and `v', i.e., one
command per line with each line, except for the last, ending in a
backslash (\).

+3) An extension to the POSIX file commands `E', `e', `r', `W' and `w' is
that <file> arguments are processed for backslash escapes, i.e., any
character preceded by a backslash is interpreted literally. If the
first unescaped character of a <file> argument is a bang (!), then the
rest of the line is interpreted as a shell command, and no escape
processing is performed by ed.

as red. This limits editing of files in the local directory only and
prohibits shell commands.
