I can use ed (*the* unix editor), I had to use it at one point in time to edit /etc/fstab in a case where someone had moved the hard drives around on a freebsd box. I guess that if noone has suggested ed then noone is going to suggest teco :P

TECO /tee'koh/ n.,v. obs. 1. [originally an acronym for `[paper] Tape
Editor and COrrector'; later, `Text Editor and COrrector'] n. A text
editor developed at MIT and modified by just about everybody. With all
the dialects included, TECO may have been the most prolific editor in
use before {EMACS}, to which it was directly ancestral. Noted for its
powerful programming-language-like features and its unspeakably hairy
syntax. It is literally the case that every string of characters is a
valid TECO program (though probably not a useful one); one common game
used to be mentally working out what the TECO commands corresponding to
human names did.
