But the question still remains how to start 'amail'. I can imagine to change the plumbing rule for faces to start 'amail'. Isn't it nicer to have all things together in one instance of acme? I find it useful to Del the mbox window now and get it back later by one single click. It wasn't hard to change /sys/src/cmd/acme/rows.c to let acme display different main tag line (although I don't have deeper understanding ;). I think this is a very ugly hack. Isn't there a way to change the tag line on run time via some /mnt/acme/... ctl file? I think it is 'cause running external commands are shown there. But I fail to find this file because of the per-process namespace (I think). > brought to you courtesy of the tips section of the LANL Plan 9 page > (lots of useful tidbits there): > > http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/lanlp9/tips.html Thanks, I saved a text version in my local hints file. :-)
