I'm not sure why this isnt setup by default (actually, it seems
to be in plan9port stuff) but acme is much more useful with:
fn cd { builtin cd $1 && awd $sysname }
(as mentioned in the acme man page). This provides the benefits
of seeing the path (in the acme title bar) as well as providing
path context for the clicks.
I'm sure this is old hat for most people, but I just came across
this recently and I imagine that means there are other people who
are using acme without it (ack!).
