How might one snarf an edit result in acme?

As a simple example, let's say I have a very
long function which I would like to print out
for scroll-less examination.  I currently
set my pointer to the beginning of the
function return type, Edit .,/^}/ and
then click Snarf.  Acme snarfs the edit line,
presumably because it's the last manually
highlighted region.

Cheers,

Sam

I don't think there's a command to
set the snarf buffer.

Edit .,/^}/>cat>/dev/snarf

?
