Is there a reason that acme doesn’t include a News pane when executing Dump?

Probably News doesn't write an appropriate dump
command to the acme ctl file.

How can I fake it?
% cat acme.dump
/usr/chesky
/lib/font/bit/lucidasans/unicode.7.font
/lib/font/bit/lucm/unicode.9.font
0 33
f 0 1 80 80 1
1 34 80 1 1 /usr/chesky/ Del Snarf Get | Look
e 1 0 0 0 1
2 49 5 0 1 /usr/chesky/-hymie Del Snarf | Look Send Noscroll
/usr/chesky
win
e 1 0 0 0 5
3 49 0 0 0 /mail/fs/mbox/ Del Snarf | Look Put Mail Delmesg
/acme/mail
Mail -o /mail/box/chesky/outgoing mbox
f 1 16 676 676 30
16 39 839 0 0 /usr/chesky/acme.dump Del Snarf | Look
%
I’m guessing I need to replace the last two lines with something like:
e x x x x x
4 57 0 0 0 /mnt/news/digitalmars/D/ Del Snarf | Look Newpost More
/acme/news
News digitalmars.D
—but what are the ‘x’ values? Looking through acme(4), I made a stab
at guessing the second line (window ID, the number or characters in
the tag as returned by wc, no chars in body (the way Mail reports it),
not a directory, and not modified), but what about the line starting
with ‘e’? Win uses “e 1 0 0 0 1”, Mail uses “e 1 0 0 0 5”; what are
these numbers and where are they documented?
Thanks,

Don't fake it -- fix News. You have the source.

that's good advice for life, not just News. Too bad life doesn't
come with source code.

Right. So… when I try to implement the write-to-ctl in News, what is
the meaning of the numbers sent? Reading through
/acme/mail/src/mail.c and /acme/mail/src/win.c is somewhat less than
edifying.

/acme/mail/src/mail.c:
winsetdump(wbox, "/acme/mail", cmd);
/acme/mail/src/win.c:
void
winsetdump(Window *w, char *dir, char *cmd)
{
if(dir != nil)
ctlprint(w->ctl, "dumpdir %s\n", dir);
if(cmd != nil)
ctlprint(w->ctl, "dump %s\n", cmd);
}
So if you open the ctl file and then do
fprint(ctl, "dumpdir /news/window/title\n");
fprint(ctl, "dump News whatever args you use\n");
then you're done. There are no numbers to send.
