This doesn't work very well if you run commands from a win shell.
The typical scenario is running mk or 8c to compile the stuff you are
working on.  The compiler spits out error strings suitable for plumbing
in acme.  If you plumb such a line a NEW instance will be opened with
the full path in the tag - you end up with two versions of the same
file(not Zerox'd) open for editing which can cause confusion.
