The most direct consequence is that it makes sam inconsistent with acme and rio windows. While acme could be altered analogously, as soon as you've arrived at rio, you're halfway to readline. I'm not sure anybody would want that. Besides, personally I feel quit comfortable with sam as it is. If I want a line-based editor there still is ed. But by no means feel discouraged. After all, it's only my opinion. And even though I don't think it's the way to for the general distribution, there may be enough people using Plan 9 and sam who would appreciate your patch. Martin
