 ex(1)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The ex utility is the root of a family of editors: ex and vi.
Gen- erally, the ex editor uses far more of the capabilities of terminals than ed does, and uses the terminal capability data base (see terminfo(4)) and the type of the terminal you are using from the environment variable TERM to determine how to drive your terminal efficiently.
ex gives you a lot of feedback, normally printing changed lines, and indicates when more than a few lines are affected by a command so that it is easy to detect when a command has affected more lines than it should have.

 Commands Reference, Volume 2 - ex Command
The ex editor is part of a family of editors that includes the edit editor, which is a simpler version of the ex editor for novice or casual use, and the vi editor, which is a full-screen display editor.
The ex editor is more powerful than a simple line editor since it is a subset of the vi editor and can access the screen editing capabilities of the vi editor.
To determine how your workstation can perform more efficiently, the ex editor uses the workstation capability database terminfo and the type of the workstation you are using from the TERM environment variable.

 VISI.com | UNIX man pages: ex (1)
ex is a superset of ed(1), with the most notable exten- sion being a display editing facility.

Generally, the ex editor uses far more of the capa- bilities of terminals than ed does, and uses the terminal capability data base (see terminfo(4)) and the type of the terminal you are using from the environment variable TERM to determine how to drive your terminal efficiently.

 Ex (text editor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ex is similar to ed, with the exception that some switches and options are modified so that they are more user-friendly.

 Unix Command Dictionary
Ex can also be used in vi with ':' as a prefix, when vi works.
These `ex' commands can be used within the `vi' editor by typing a colon `:' in front of the `ex' command, which is another reason for learning `ex' with `vi' when you have an account where `vi' can be used.
The UNIX full screen editor `vi' is a tightly designed editing system in which almost every letter has a function and the function is stronger for upper than lower case.
