1. acme -c1 /rc/bin/termrc /rc/bin/cpurc
2. Highlight the second line of termrc (# terminal startup)
3. Highlight the second line of cpurc (# cpu server start up)
4. 2-click Snarf in the termrc tag line
5. mouse-1-3 to paste into the termrc tag line

You will see that Snarf in the termrc window grabbed the
highlighted text from the cpurc window.

acme(1) is ambiguous -- it simply says:
          Snarf
               Place selected text in snarf buffer.

But which selected text?  We seem to be assuming it means the selected
text in the window where you clicked Snarf.  Otherwise why have a
Snarf in every window's tag?  But in fact it seems to be the text
which was most recently selected, regardless of which window or tag
line it is in.
