NAME
     ed_start() - start an ed session

SYNOPSIS
     string ed_start(string file | void, int restricted | void)

DESCRIPTION
     This efun is available only if __OLD_ED__ is not defined.

     The internal editor is started,  optionally  loading  'file'
     for  editing.  The resulting output is returned.  The editor
     session remains active, and further calls to ed_cmd() can be
     used to send commands to it.

     If restricted is 1, the commands that change which  file  is
     being edited will be disabled.

     Only one ed session can be active per object at a time.
