Subject: [9fans] acme Local command on p9p
Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2011 11:39:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTik7uCQ5XyUeANzs-=x4jat2VW-g1-TtwAhrC+My@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

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.
