ed & press return to continue

[karl]

ed 0.2 has the annoying habit of asking me to "press <return> to continue"
on a longer-than-24-line print command, even when I am in an Emacs window.  
Traditional ed does not do this.  I don't want to use the traditional or
scripted options, though, as they have other undesirable (to me) effects.

Is anyone still maintaining ed?  If not, I'll volunteer.  I use it a
lot, mostly for editing crontabs in remote-login windows in emacs :).

Thanks,
