john, eric, and yy, thanks!
9vx isn't working out very well for me so far. I'm trying to practice
everything in the documentation on the Plan 9 site, then I'll work on
the ideas that have been posted for me here. I was going to practice
first in 9vx, because it's easier to switch back and forth between that
and my other windows, than between qemu and my other windows.
