And only now i'm back to using it. so i don't realy >remember where i got it :) Here's the readme.txt: 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".
