Where is this?  I thought the only acme for Windows was
in Inferno.  Has somebody ported plan9ports?  That would
be great.

I don't think so.  Most of us edit/reuse old commands
using the mouse in the 9term window.  Under Plan 9, you
can grep for things in /dev/text, and several scripts
have been posted here before to do just that.  I don't
think that works under the ports, though.

I think you want something like this:

fn cd { builtin cd $1; prompt=(`{pwd}^'% ' '	') }
