how to use env variables within ed

i have a file that i need to edit and replace a single value with another. so i have two variables, $oldvalue and $newvalue but below doesn't work:

Code:
ed file.txt << EOF
,s/$oldversion/$newversion/g
wq
EOF

i presume it's the $ that is the issue since it's actually special to ed. any suggestions? thanx in advance.
