Have you tried this?
sed 's/2/too/g'
That works for me, and should work with other seds also.
Thanks Bill (I'm a big fan, BTW -- love "Waltz for Debbie". :-) )
Yes, it works. But so, according to the manual page, should the -g option.
I've been talking this through privately with dattier(_at_)wwa(_dot_)com (David

Tamkin), and we've come to the conclusion that is an old option from an
earlier sed which got carried over into the GNU manual by mistake. It's
not very useful, and it seems to have been dropped from the binary.
