i added /dev/showfile for windows a while back.  in that case, dt
hands anything it is given on /dev/showfile to explorer (closest thing
to plumber on windows).  plumb rule for urls hands them to a script
that looks like this:

	echo -n $* > /mnt/term/dev/showfile

> 	mkfifo /tmp/open.fifo
> 	while () {open `{cat open.fifo}}
> I also have a srcipt on the Plan 9 side, 'web':
> 	#!/bin/rc
>
> 	fifoname=/mnt/term/tmp/open.fifo
>
> 	if (test -e $fifoname)
> 		echo $* > $fifoname
> 	if not
> 		lynx2txt $*
