this sounds great. often i can't Put files in the rh column
because Put gets cropped. even with acme covering the whole
width of the screen.
can this work with a 3-button mouse, too?
i disagree with Uriel. to paraphrase feynman, why should
you care how other people "abuse" acme.
it's hard to type "| awkscript <script>" in acme for this
reason. it gets difficult to read even for a 3-line BEGIN/
for-each-line/END script.
alternatively, what if any line after the first scrolls and is executed
on \n, like sam.

| Very cool; please, could you put it in sources/contrib?
