Thanks! I just wonder why Edit is a built-in... I would prefer piping to = (streamed) sam... wouldn't that be a cleaner solution? One of the things I love on = unix/plan 9 is their modularity, thus, why to have a standalone webbrowser when there is acme + hget + gif = (page), likewise with mail, and why to have a built-in Edit when there is acme + sed (ssam, awk, = perl....)? Or am I missing something? Thanks, ++pac ------=_NextPart_000_001D_01C2E2EC.32A79D40 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
