I use a  wrapper function to start wily; it explicitly undefines
those variables that bit me.  Then it works fine for me.

(apart from the fact that for buffers named as $VAR,
 button3 on .. would no longer take me upwards.
 Never took the time to look into that, though. )

I also liked the possibility to button3 on e.g. $PLAN9/src .
Hmm. could that be done via the plumber,
or would it need changes in acme?

Axel.
