Also, the command I was looking for was
x/foo/c/bar
— not so obvious to a beginner. Thanks fo setting me straight.

it should be noted somewhere that sam structured regexp applies
to Edit.

It is so noted in acme(1); it just took me a while reading sam(1) to
figure out the proper command syntax.

Commands apply to the current selection in both sam and acme.
The use of , as an address meaning "the entire file" is also common
to both sam and acme. See the sections starting with "Addresses"
in sam(1).

I’d like to look this up; is this a sam feature or an acme Edit one?

edit applies to the current seoection, so if you want to do a global search and replace you need
Edit ,s:foo:bar:g
you don't need SREs for something like this.

What are the steps to use the Edit command? I’ve been trying something really simple—changing every occurence of ‘foo’ to ‘bar’— and can’t seem to make it work. I have some variation of
Edit s/foo/bar/
in the window’s tag, middle-select the whole thing, and get an error message saying “Edit: no substitution”. And this is after reading the manuals and /sys/doc/ papers on both acme and sam; I just don’t get it. ☹
