Only a few versions of sed honor that flag.

Tim *did* say he was using GNU version 3.02.80.

 Generally, the answer to
Timothy's question is no.  However, this time there's a solution:

sed -ne h -e y/ADEfILMORST/adeFilmorst/ \
 -e '/For more details/q' -eg -ep

But even in some lesser versions of sed:

| sed -E '/For more details|FOR MORE DETAILS/,$d'

or even lesser:

| sed -e '/For more details/,$d' -e '/FOR MORE DETAILS/,$d'

Probably less load to do two searches than to translate first.
