Subject: [PATCH] ed: start breaking up edParse()

* Unhook commands E, e, f, H, h, P, Q and q from the large regex in edParse(); the idea is to remove the large regex entirely
* Commands E, e and f allow zero or one argument; the other commands require no argument
* None of these commands allows an address prefix, e.g. 1,2P is invalid
* When testing against GNU ed I discovered "f FILENAME" should still print the filename when setting it
* Later the remaining commands can be removed from the large regex if calculateLine() function strips address prefix from $_ at start of edParse()

%perl ed # start with empty buffer and no saved filename
P     ---> toggle * prompt
*e a.c   ---> start editing file a.c
197
*H   --->  toggle auto-help
*123d
?
invalid address  ---> error message displays by itself
*H  ---> disable auto-help
*,d   ---> delete all lines
*h  ---> display previous error saved from 123d command
invalid address
*E   ---> reload a.c because I don't want to delete all lines
197
*f  ---> show saved filename
a.c
*f a.c.copy ---> set new filename to write to
a.c.copy
*1,2d ---> delete first two lines
*w ---> write changes to a.c.copy
158
*q
