I'm trying to use the sed editor to make global relacements, but I'm not
having much luck.  I tried RTFM, but it doesn't give an example of what the
script file should look like.  What I'm trying to do is replace occurrences 
of ^L with .bp macros.

When I use the a script file containing:

	/^L/s//\.bp

I get a message saying "sed: command line garbled".  What am I doing wrong?
What should the script look like?
