//plan 9 has been around for nearly 10 years.  all this
//'why can't i have my favourite toy on it?' mail is a
//bit much.

and i've been at least a casual user for almost half of
that. how is asking about sam "why can't i have my favorite
toy"? i was asking how to better use the tools Plan 9
provides. yeah, you can write telnet with echo and cat; how
exactly is that relavant to the issue at hand again? i'm
well aware of the power of the system... which is exactly
why i was asking how to use it, and the tools it provides,
better, rather than sticking with sed (which can do what i
want, but i'd need to use the hold spaces, which are ugly).

much thanks to everyone who responded helpfully.
-α.
