  • The sam window is not always responsiv= e to commands. Under what specific conditions is this the case?
  • Mu= st every sam file end with a newline? I.e. even files with simple text? I s= ometimes get the "?newline expected" error, which I would like to= avoid if possible.
  • Is there a way to repeat the last entered comm= and in sam without having to snarf and paste? I know one can repeat the las= t search with //.
  • The sam tutorial speaks of sam being "downl= oaded". (A tutorial for the sam language.) I am not exactly sur= e what "downloaded" means in this context.
  • In ed the &qu= ot;e" command allows one to switch files. It replaces the current file= with another. To add a file to the list in sam, one should use B not e. Is= that correct? I.e. it would seem "e" is allowed but not sam'= s natural way of doing things?
  • Is there a way of saving the state = of one's windows in sam?
I have used "Emacs" f= or the last 8 years, but must confess that sam is very special. = ;
