sam doesn't have windows. That's samterm. I built just the sam part for my
Linux distro, which has an X-less "Core" that I basically live in.

My tastes for online docs are definitely as presented, in contrast to ed,
sam and so on. My tastes for interdependancies leaves Plan9 interesting
for reasons other than it's distributed-ness. Tastes obviously vary. Even
on Plan9, I'm sure I'd personally go with the simplicity of an h key as
presented as, in addition to whatever.
