Hello,

now I am having an even simpler problem. :)

I just added this rule to lib/plumbing (to its end)

type text
plumb to edit

then for whatever sent the editor tries to open a file with the $data
name. To not open but only show $data (thus sort of echo) I tried

plumb to edit -a action=showdata

This didn't work, the editor again tried to open the $data file, so I
deduced 'plumb to edit' can't have additional parameters... (right?)
... and tried

plumb start echo $data | plumb -i -d edit -a action=showdata

which, however, does seemingly nothing... I don't understand why...

Thanks for any comments!
Ruda
