  History of QED
The QED text editor was first written by Butler Lampson and Peter Deutsch for the Berkeley time-sharing system on the SDS 940; see their paper in C. #12 (December, 1967).
Ken's CTSS qed adopted from the Berkeley one the notion of multiple buffers to edit several files simultaneously and to move and copy text among them, and also the idea of executing a given buffer as editor commands, thus providing programmability.
A traditional (and maybe the nicest) version of QED was done at the University of Toronto by Tom Duff, Rob Pike, Hugh Redelmeier, and David Tilbrook; it supports multiple buffers, execution of buffers, and regular expressions with back-referencing.

Whenever QED is in text input mode (after A, C, or I commands) the prompt character "*" is supplied at the beginning of each line.

 Deutsch and Lampson - An Online Editor
QED regards the text on which it is operating as a single long string of characters called the main text buffer.
The meaning of this construction is that the text is to be searched for a line beginning with the characters inside the colons, with the requirement that they be followed by a character which is not a letter or digit.
The editor is now in its line edit mode, in which it will recognize a number of teletype control characters in addition to the A, Q, W, and D which are normally recognized when text is being typed in.

The QED text editor, for instance, was first coded for an SDS 940 running the Berkeley time-sharing system (qv) by Butler Lampson and Peter Deutsch as early as 1967.
QED utilized several buffers so that many documents could be open simultaneously, and so that text could be moved among them.
Another important contemporaneous text editor for time-sharing systems was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s TECO (Tape Editor and Corrector, and later, Text Editor and Corrector).

 Edit large text files on your Palm computer with QED (EasyPrint)
Along comes QED, a shareware program written by Kurt Schuster, which as far as I am concerned is about as close as we're going to come to a word processor for the Palm device.
The first time I used QED, I was momentarily stumped by the large checkmark and the large X at the bottom of the "open" dialog box, mostly because their use is a departure from the standard interface of Pilot applications.
Once, while I was editing in QED, my Palm organizer crashed (for reasons unrelated to QED), and when I did a soft reset and returned to the program, I found that I had lost a substantial amount of my work.

Feynman's lectures must have been marvelous and they have been turned into an equally entrancing book, a vivid introduction to QED which is leavened and enlivened by his wit.
Feynman starts the explanation of QED by dealing with the partial reflection of light onto 2 surfaces of glass, and uses arrow diagrams to make the explanation easy to understand.
To appreciate Feynman's QED lectures, you must have patience, some commitment (its not really difficult), but more than anything else you need a willingness to set aside disbelief and simply listen to a physicist talk about quantum electrodynamics.
