Oh, sorry. I thought the german man pages were just translations of the original man pages, but at least the one for sed is entirely different. It also mentions the flags like g to replace globally, not only the first instance. Here is the OpenBSD man page for sed, it has more information. However, this sed is a little different from our GNU sed. For example, it does not have the -i option. http://www.rocketaware.com/man/man1/sed.1.htm Wonko
