Why on earth would you want to use ed? It's a notoriously bad interactive editor, a product of a long-gone age, not matter what esoterics say. If you already use OpenBSD (I presume on servers?) why not use the two entirely sufficient alternatives: (classical) vi and mg?

Which doesn't mean that certain things shoudln't have been changed, and *nix makes it hard to change them.
