This reminded me of my old pet idea.  To ease finding the desired command
in a window, how's it to split the window into two panes like sam does?
I mean, you always enter commands in the command pane and every outputs will
appear in the other output pane.

In acme, you could achieve similar effect by typing commands in a directory
window and the output appears in another "+Errors" window, but it's tiresome
to Button-2'ing the command everytime.
