Yes, I realized it when Forsyth said it. I thought this was impossible,
so I did this change. I wouldn't have done it if I knew the wsys (by the
way, is there any reference in the manual about it?).
Looking at it now, I seems cleaner as you said.

The problem here is that this mechanisms are not uniform.  In rio, /dev/winid is
the current id of the window.  In an script run in acme this is done
with $winid.  In win (in acme) the dir is bound in /dev/acme. Wouldn't all this
have to be the same?.
