That would be the port of the second edition tools, which as far as I know 
doesn't include acme.

On the up-arrow thing, I used to find it disconcerting at first, but now I 
wouldn't want to go back. It's really liberating to be able to use the 
whole area of the 9term window as a scratchpad in which to assemble 
commands, highlight them, and execute using the right mouse button and 
"send" command. Try it a bit more, and you might get to love it.

I don't know about the prompt - I prefer it without the path, which takes 
up most of the line these days, especially if, which God forbid, you're in 
a directory called "c:\documents and settings\myaccountwithaverylongname\my 
recent documents\sod this for a game of soldiers".
