ed (especially Plan9's ed which is more GUI than your old ed).
'More GUI' because it added the b[rowse] command [1]? That's a bit of a stretch!

Perhaps I should have phrased it differently, if all I cared about was ed commands I could have used Plan9's ed in conjunction with a plan9 terminal, like 9term.
In UNIX I use plan9port which has a port of ed, and 9term, a terminal that acts like a Plan9 terminal.
No you can't, not in ed on Plan9.
> Even when there are newlines in the output text, 9term will not honor reads if the window is in hold mode [...] Some programs automatically turn on hold mode to simplify the editing of multi-line text; type ESC when done to allow mail to read the text.
