Out of the two editors available I would really opt for using Acme
instead. If you happen to find yourself newly installing plan 9 then
someone might suggest Sam to use and you will be stuck trying to learn
everything about Sam before you can start. Learning only the basics of
Sam is enough for the new user, and learning it without the mouse
seems like a really good idea. I agree with you sam -d is not an entry
level choice, Acme is best for this. In my next post I showed how to
write hello world in Sam and then suggest Acme for editing files from
there on.
