[9fans] Question about acme and $acmeaddr

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

I have started to use acme and would like to know how to use the
environment variable $acmeaddr.
I have the following script:

echo acmeaddr $acmeaddr '$*' $*

If I B1 on the file name only (in a tag) and the B2-1 on the script I get:

acmeaddr $* nibsOam

ie, $acmeaddr is empty. Is this as expected? The manual page says
''an environment variable $acmeaddr is created that holds, in the
form interpreted by button 3, the fully-qualified address of
the extra argument.''
This made me expect at least something in $acmeaddr.


Best Wishes,
bengt

I think it's because you're clicking on something on the tag.  How can
it give a 'fully-qualified address' for text on the tag?  You need
to click/select something in the body.
