Hi,
In plan9port acme, if I select text in window $winid and write
"addr=dot" to acme/$winid/ctl, acme/$winid/addr doesn't change. Am I
doing something wrong?
Writing an address to acme/$winid/addr and "dot=addr" to
acme/$winid/ctl changes the selection, though.
Is there a better way, other than writing "addr=dot" and reading
/addr, for an external script to know the position of selected text in
an acme window?
Thanks,
Alex Kritikos

You need to hold the files open, which you can't easily
do in shell scripts. Try the acme(3) library.
