hello
probably there are a better ways, like rc maintainng a `namespace`/env fs, so it reads that fs creating the environment correspondant to that namespace when started or simmiliar, but in lunix way (and with other shells) you can use one script to launch acme that executes the arguments of the Local script after the acme launch :-?
start_acme.sh
#/bin/bash
acme &
while a=read(named_pipe_or_simmilar); do
$a
done;
And Local
#!/bin/bash
echo $* > named_pipe_or_simmilar
So Local export var=var could make var available
Also not sure if plumber would help you instead of using pipes.
My corporate pc barely allows me to reply emails, so this is not tested ;)

Hello,
the man page for acme on p9p reads
Local In the Plan 9 acme, this prefix causes a command to be run in
acme'sown file name space and environment variable group. On
Unix this is impossible...
is there any other way to define environment variables for acme while
it's running?
On plan9, Local var=val sets var and then all other commands I execute
with a middle click see $var. On some ocasions this is very useful.
