Re: "ed" command doesn't work under SQL*PLUS???

This happens a lot on various flavours of SQL*PLUS on Windows (3.1 and 95). Sometimes if you edit the SQL buffer, it is not reloaded into windows once you finish.

Try, after your edit has finished, doing "get afiedt.buf" (I assume its the same file name in NT as elsewhere). This forces a load of the file from the version saved on disk. If this is the same problem I've seen, then you get the editted version from disk.

Cheers,
