Thanks! That works. Except that for some lines, there isn't a + at the start.
So is there a way to insert a '+' on each line only when there isn't one?
Then your suggested code will work.

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
