True, but I think he refers to remove it from the tag only, since
every time you have to use a Look command you have to retype it
followed by the pattern.

It's a convenient mechanism to search for patterns that may be
misinterpreted.  I use it a lot when the pattern I'm looking for
happens to match a filename.

i was always missing a 'command window' where can i see the file with my
customized commands (for the task i'm working on), w/o restarting acme. see
my ancient postings about an idea how to replace (mostly redundant)
taglines with a command window. (yes, i can open my guide file in a window
and snarf/paste to a tagline; however, it's at least, unelegant...)

cheers,

probably the Dump/Load (or the -l <dumfile> argument) would do the trick for
you.

anyway, hacking Acme's C sources to adjust content of tag line is easy enough.

looking for text from one window in another window:

select text in the first window
2-1 chord on Look in the second window's tag line

i don't use it as much as some things, but i do use it.

how about running a command from another window, w/o copying to the tagline?

This is it: you don't copy to the tagline but just pass last selection
as an argument.
