[9fans] Acme create new file

[Chris McGee]

Hi All,

I’ve been using acme for a while and really enjoying the capability in such a small (code size) tool.

I’ve been creating new files by executing New to create a new window, typing the full path of the new file and then Put to save it. Am I missing an easier way to do this, perhaps via a directory window where I want the new file?

Thanks,
Chris

In the directory window, you can type 'touch myfile' and then select
and execute it with B2.

Type B filename in the tag of an existing frame in the directory and
execute it with button 2; or type B filename as a command in that directory
in a win frame or rio window.

Thanks all, these suggestions worked great. I don’t know how I missed it in the docs and tutorials.
