rio does its magic (<ins> expanding filenames) by consulting /dev/wdir,
thus any way you can keep wdir up to date will allow <ins> to work,
(and the plumber to find files).

You can even use u9fs (or sftpfs) to connect to a unix box and ssh to
connect to a remote unix host, and plumb files (or use <ins> to expand
file names), this parses the current directory embedded in the unix
host's prompt  - see rwd(1).

I have a similar system for accessing windows servers and windows workstations,
though I use my own server on the workstation rather than openssh.
