Subject: [9fans] Simple plumbing

Hi all,

I've just started to play around with the plumber. As a simple
experiment I thought I'd write a plumbing rule that simply listed
directories; ie when you 'plumb' text that is a  directory name then it
lists the contents of that directory in your shell window.
It's the last part I'm having problems with. If I just have

  plumb start ls $dir

then the result is written by the background rc (the one that starts
when you boot) and not the relevant window.

I have tried  various combinations of 'start' 'client' and 'window'
without success :-) .

Is it possible to do this in this way?

Many thanks

Bob
