What if I have a more complex sed that has ' in it how can I put the sed
into a bourne script becuase ' means something different in a bourne script?

Using an escape or a double-quote:

[pjb@thalassa tmp]$ cat test
Testy, isn't it.
Testo
It's Testy.
Testa
[pjb@thalassa tmp]$ sed -e /'/s/Test/Grump/ < test
Grumpy, isn't it.
Testo
It's Grumpy.
Testa
[pjb@thalassa tmp]$ sed -e "/'/s/Test/Grump/" < test
Grumpy, isn't it.
Testo
It's Grumpy.
Testa
