Subject: [9fans] p9p win(1) body file

Hello,

Suppose $winid is the id of an acme window running win(1). An echo ls
> /mnt/acme/$winid/body will execute ls, i.e. the input to body will
be treated as if we had just typed ls in $winid.

P9p on the other hand, will show ls in $winid but not execute it. Code reads:

win.c:372:         case 'E':    /* write to body or tag; can't affect us */

Is there a reason for the p9p behavior?
