-DESCRIPTION="sed - a stream editor" 
+SUMMARY="sed - a stream editor" 
+DESCRIPTION="Sed is a stream editor. A stream editor is used to perform
+	basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or
+	input from a pipeline). While in some ways similar to an
+	editor which permits scripted edits (such as ed), sed
+	works by making only one pass over the input(s), and is
+	consequently more efficient. But it is sed's ability to
+	filter text in a pipeline which particularly distinguishes
+	it from other types of editors."
