there are a couple of options "Edit ," will select all the text in
a window.  but "|cat $file" will replace the dot with the contents
of $file.  i'm not sure that this is either non-obvious or helpful.
that's not something i do with acme.

i'm not sure what kind of text file you're talking about.
i generally put unique text for each of the sections i'm
currently intereted in in the tag.
