in the /src/cmd/rc/plan9ish.c i've got, the bit in Rcmain
that looks for $PLAN9 (and thus finds rcmain) is commented
out. any reason? how is teh #9/rcmain in there supposed to
work? i may be confused.

#9 is a clumsy hack that I brought over from more full-featured ports.
It means "the $PLAN9 directory" to open and Bopen. It was a mistake
(it's too hard to contain, and it makes ported programs different from
normal programs; same mistake as handling dotdot specially in some
programs but not others). I'm going to rid the tree of these references.
But it should be working right now.
