Yes, it's called Dotfiles. I feel bad about having done it, but otherwise my home directory is twice as big and has very long names in it. As Forsyth says, it's only relevant on Unix. > I'm so psyched about having real acme in linux, I'm considering tackling > two enhancements: > > (1) Using an XWindows resource to specify the size of the acme window. What do you mean by an XWindows resource? Is this different from a command-line option? (Sorry, I know very little about X even now.) Clearly we need some uniform way to specify window sizes for new windows. One option is to put a '-g' into every gui problem to specify geometry. Another option, which requires no changes to the gui programs themselves, is to have initdraw look in the environment for a $windowsize and respect that. Then the Plan 9 window script is just "windowsize=$1; shift; exec $*". > (2) Providing a command-line parameter or XWindows resource to specify > swapping scrolling direction of mouse buttons 1 and 3 (to make it the same > as all the other programs I use). This isn't emacs, you know. ;-) Russ
