We're trying to help our user base recover from a disaster.
I suspect ed(1) is not well-known through out the FreeBSD
user base.  mined(1) is a full-screen editor, which of 
course allows one to see what she is editing.  mined(1)
also has on-line help for all possible key-binding actions
in a 1 page listing.

Well, this will help me, but how exactly does it help our
user base.  Currently, /rescue/vi is useless if a termcap
file is not available (as in /usr is hosed).
