	Hi,

	I could probably do at least part of this with an ed shell
	script, but sed is probaly more standard.  (I may have asked this
	before, years back: FWIW. Anyhow, don't see it in my
	~/Mail/freebsd files.)

	How can I automagically delete from $1,155d  AND from the 
	25th line from the bottom to the last line with sed?  I spent
	hours last night, by-hand saving web files; now I want to get rid
	of the cruft from them.  

	Again, (I think) something like % sed -e 1,$155d < filefoo 
	[[yes?]], but then the last part stumps me.


	tthanks, y'all,

	gary
