Subject: [9fans] Trouble finding current window directory in acme
Topicbox-Message-UUID: af449274-ead9-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hi All,

I=E2=80=99m in the process of writing an interactive tutorial for =
plan9/acme. I=E2=80=99m hoping to demonstrate how to execute a command =
on a text file that uses the current selection as input.

According to the acme manual page there should be a /dev/acme/acme (or =
/mnt/acme/acme) directory that represents the current window within =
acme. There should be the usual body, ctl, addr, etc. files. On a =
regular document window I=E2=80=99m finding that the directory is empty. =
However, when I run an interactive =E2=80=9Cwin=E2=80=9D window the =
files are there for that window.

How does one get the /dev/acme/acme directory to be present in a normal =
document window? Alternatively, is there a simple way to find the index =
of the current acme window so that I can use the /dev/acme/x directory?

Thanks,
Chris=
