I would also be grateful if acme would backup your unsaved work somehow;
BTW, the linux clone (wily) keeps backups in a rather nice way. It
maintains a directory with backups and a generated guide file which
can be used to copy the backup over the original, remove all backups, etc.

For that matter, maybe such windows should be tinted differently.

A nasty problem here. When you resize a directory window, acme should recolumnate
the output, but I couldn't see how to get that right while keeping the user's text, so I
just started over. A directory window is therefore a kind of scratch typing space, which
is actually a feature I like but is clearly a consequence of, rather than integral to, the design.
I suppose the documentation should mention this.

Hi,
I just started a new instance of Acme
typed some code in an empty yellow window which was a directory
listing of an empty directory, I'd put the filename in the titlebar
but not saved the file.
All was going well until I resized the column and lost all my typing.
Not the end of the world but not very user friendly either.
An instance of where DWIM would win over "you have to have the text in
a file already, stupid"
