I am not sure where this came from:
% whatis cd
fn cd {if(builtin cd $1){if(flag i)$PLAN9^/bin/9 awd || status='';status=''}}
but I don't think awd(1) has something to do with the problem.
I think is something else, and maybe I was wrong and doesn't even has
anything to do with acme. I have no clue on what's going on:
1.- Start with acme showing all files in a directory (~3000). They all
happen to be png images. They are all correctly shown in acme's
window.
2.- Write
for(i in *){ name=`{echo $i | 9 sed 's/png/jpg/'}; convert $i $name}
somewhere in your tag and then execute it using your mouse button 2.
(That's imagemagick's convert utility)
3.- Write
rm *.png
and execute it using your mouse button 2.
4.- Execute a Get in your window. Now all files are gone (according to acme).
5.- Write 9 ls in your tag and execute it. You get all your jpg files.
6.- I am puzzled.

it's very hard to say since you've given us
so little information.  presumably there is
some reason that the acme dirread loop
doesn't work even though ls's does.
you could grep for dirread in $PLAN9/src/cmd/acme/*
to find it and then add print statements.
