i use that rule too.
it's nice just being able to do it once and it gets
everywhere (including inside inferno, for example).

i also have a little shell script:

	#!/bin/rc
	plumb 'Local ' ^ $"*

so:
	local mount /srv/9660 /n/cd

does everything i need.

i can't decide whether it's a nasty hack or just a hack...

i use this as a substitute for the plumbspace hack.

# stupid rule to run programs
kind is text
data matches 'Local (.*)'
plumb to none
plumb start rc -c $1

e.g.
	plumb 'Local 9fs foo'
	draw new window, has /n/foo

it's not quite as convenient but it's not bad.
combined with sending the same
command to acme, it gets me where i want to go.
