Hello,
I am having a small but irritating trouble with acme.
I have directories whose names are like
r3_[1-5Co6-10Ni]/
When I 3-click on such a name in an acme (e.g. a directory) window, acme
doesn't open it.
What must I change in order it work?
This is the behaviour at least in plan9port.
Thanks a lot!
Ruda

the directory name...
you could try to hack acme/addr.c:/^isaddr
but it's quite possible you'd break something

New will take an arbitrary file name as an argument, except even with
New spaces are taken as argument separators.

the function you should look is isfilec() in look.c
