Interesting that you are working on an ed implementation in Scheme.

I've been working on something along those lines myself, in fits and
starts.  I haven't gotten too far with it, but my basic idea is to make
a library of data structures and functions suitable for creating
ed-style interfaces where the basic metaphor is a buffer of lines.
