[9fans] Acme question?

[ISHWAR RATTAN]

If there is a file open (being edited) in acme. I
want to read-in the contents of another file
in the open file at the cursor position. How can I
achieve that?

Can a part of the open file be written out to another
file?

Edit .w filename

Or you can put "<cat filename" (without the quotes) at the insertion
point, highlight and B2 it.

another way besides the edit commands is to 
execute

<cat file

with the cursor at the location to insert.

and you can highlight the part to save
and execute

>cat>file
