Very new to sql plus

Question

I am using sql plus by the command line, I am using the ed mode. My problem is, I have two inserts one right after another. in note pad:
insert into table values
insert into table values
('d')
The problem is only one insert gets done.
What is the correct way to write this ?

If it is the same table, you could do something like:
SQL> create table mytable(col1 varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into mytable(col1) values(&value);
Enter value for value: ' '
old   1: insert into mytable(col1) values(&value)
new   1: insert into mytable(col1) values(' ')
1 row created.
SQL> r
  1* insert into mytable(col1) values(&value)
Enter value for value: 'd'
old   1: insert into mytable(col1) values(&value)
new   1: insert into mytable(col1) values('d')
1 row created.
SQL> select * from mytable;
COL1
d
SQL> set feedback on
SQL> /
COL1
d
2 rows selected.
