Why need to create a function?  I mostly use jove, even though it does
not have much of the power if jed, because it is very easy to use shell
commands to manipulate a buffer or region within a buffer.  In jove I
would mark the region, go to the beginning then do
<ESC>xfil<TAB>re<TAB><RET>par and that would invode the command
filter-region the marked region through the shell command par and return
the formatted text to the buffer.  I tried to do this with jed and was
stymied by the fact that ted does not do <TAB> completion on commands,
apropos or anything.  For doing things that are not done very often
<TAB> completion is indispensable.  If there is a way of enabling that
in jed it might push me over the edge to using jed more than jove.
