Yes, BJ, your assumptions are correct.
It works when sent as a single command call, like what you did.
But when I concatenate the middle command it simply will not work:
do shell script "sed " & ,
"-e 's|<HR>|<BR>|' " & ,
"-e '2s|<H3>\\(.*\\)<\\/H3>|<h3><a href=\"\\.\\/\">\\1</a></h3>|' " & ,
"-e '1N;s|</A>\\(\\n<A\\)|</A> \\• \\1|;P;$!N;D' " & ,
flipPOSIX & ">" & flopPOSIX
Removing the "2" operates on all lines in the file.
I can't figure this out, maybe it's a buffering issue?
OTOH, the output string when pasted in Terminal doesn't work either, so that
excuses Applescript.
Thanks for the help.

Are these not the results for which you are searching?
