To run the plumber, type
plumber &

then you can copy the rules file to $HOME/lib/plumbing and modify it as
you wish. The next time you start the plumber (or when you write the
modified file back via 9p), it will load that config file and hopefully
behave as you planned.

Okay, now what's the plumber? There are two kinds of Buttor-3 actions in
acme:
1) if you use button 3 on things like file names, addresses, etc. it
does some special action
2) otherwise, search text

The plumber (when running) is there to find out, if there is a special
action to perform, and then do it. Read the paper "Plumbing and other
utilities" to get more details.
