Hi everyone,

I wasn't aware of B and E before reading this thread.  I tried using E on
my install but it seems that I don't have a plumb file.  When I use it on a
file, I don't get an acme window and instead I get:

$ touch test
$ E test
plumb: can't open plumb file: dial unix!/tmp/ns.eaburns.:0/plumb: connect
/tmp/ns.eaburns.:0/plumb: No such file or directory
editing test

In /tmp/ns.eaburns.:0/ the only file is called acme.  Do I need to do
something first to create the plumb file or do I need to do something to
tell E to use the acme file instead?

Best,
Ethan
