Hi Arnold,
That would allow me to edit the command I'm entering, e.g. `,n'. What
I'm suggesting is the command I'm entering can manipulate the in-line
cursor when I press Enter to submit the command. I don't want
interactive editing of lines in the file; I know where to find that.

I don't think I understand what you're getting at. It's been decades,
I think, since I last saw / used open mode, which is what I thought
you wanted, so I think I'm confused.
Oh well,
Arnold
I've
idly considered an ed that also maintained a cursor within the
line that could be used with vi-like commands.
you want an ed with a cursor, you need only take GNU ed and hook it up
with GNU readline, and there you go.
