The first error has been corrected as of ed 1.15 (the current version). The 
description for the 'r' suffix now reads, "The 'r' suffix causes the RE of the 
last search to be used instead of the RE of the last substitution (if the 
search happened after the substitution)." However, the second typo (in '(1,$)w 
FILE') is still present in version 1.15.
