   CTRL-U only exits the editor (you don't want to save any changes)   
      
   From SED.TXT:   
      
     Ctrl-K   Update all changes made to the screen   
      
   So the procedure is CTRL-K CTRL-U to Save and Exit.  Perhaps there should be   
   a single command ... but it's never occurred to me in over 30 years and I use   
   screens exclusively.
