I added a shift and changed rio to rio $* so I could pass a starting
script -- for example starting faces and acme -l lib/acme.mail.dump.
This led to an interesting situation; both acmes listen to the plumber
and open files and man pages.  Which is easier; starting a new plumber
in the new rio window (and are they disconnected?), or telling this
invocation of acme only to respond to mail messages and pass opening
files to some other process?
