If so, why? it happens because when you mount the cd that happens in just the window you're using and not anywhere else. in particular, it doesn't get mounted in the plumber's name space, and so asking the plumber about /n/cd/test.ps fails, so acme falls back to its own defaults -- in this case just opening the file. others have posted some tricks with srvfs to work around this. instead of those, i just tell the plumber to do the mount too. i type Local 9fs cd in an acme window and then middle-click it (execute in acme) and right click it (send to plumber). with this plumb rule: # stupid rule to run programs kind is text data matches 'Local (.*)' plumb to none plumb start rc -c $1 russ
