That way, I can have a window on top with the commands I need and execute them in any window I want (the pipe symbol is always visible in every acme window). It is a workaround, and does not cover every situation (it does not let you to pass arguments to those commands), but most of the time is good enough for me. -- - yiyus || JGL .
