I was trying to see why showmail messages weren't showing up
(playing with ahist), and I got acme wedged. I'm trying to understand why.
I button-3 on /mnt/plumb/rules and then button-3 on "showmail"
inside of that file (the intent was to Look) and that gets the input
stuck (mouse and keyboard). What happened?

Clarification: I know it tried to open /mnt/plumb/showmail, but what
is happening to keyboard and mouse input to acme?

That's how opening a file works in acme -- the user interface
is unavailable until the operation completes. In the case of
/mnt/plumb/showmail, reading the file blocks and so it
never finishes.
