Look needs a context in which to search. the context is an acme
window, so you'll either need to select a text in an acme window and
execute the Look command *in the banner for that window* or you'll
need to type the text behind the Look command in the same window
again. you'll need to have some text in that window in order to search
through it.

clicking selected text (or a word) with the third mouse button will do
exactly the same as look if the text does not appear to be a file
name.

the documentation is good for explaining what everything does, trust
Russ. the initial environment that glenda starts up with is a good
sandbox to play with acme. try typing "acme" and "acme(1)" in the same
window in acme. try right-clicking the text "acme(1)" and see what it
does. now try middle-clicking it and see what it does.

here's what the documentation says:

Look: Search in body for occurrence of literal text indicated by the
argument or, if none is given, by the selected text in the body.
