Working with sed

Hi,

I'm writing a script that uses sed, and am having trouble with one
part.  I have a file that contains typical unix paths, one per
line, and would like to remove everything after the last forward 
slash (/).  In other words I would like the string:

	/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd/eee

to be changed to:

	/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd

Is this possible with sed?  Any ideas e-mailed or posted would 
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
