Fuck yes.  Let's merge it.

I don't think this mail alone does the patch justice.  Here are two
examples of a collection of samscripts one can preload:

http://runjimmyrunrunyoufuckerrun.com/rc/s
http://shithub.us/qwx/rc/HEAD/bin/s/f.html

To load these, you do ^s in sam, and they are now usable within it.
Check out the u script in either file: !u starts a new rio window
showing the description of these and their usage (from my own
script):

^r [cmd]     # run command in cwd and send output to jam.err window
^R [cmd]     # run command and send output to jam.err window
^T	# write to disk any modified files
!o name expr # save a sam command
^O expr      # run any rc function
^w [cmd]     # open window in cwd
^W [cmd]     # open window in current file's directory
^dump		# print all files in menu
!u [fn...]   # print sam fn usage
^+ [n]       # increase indent
^- [n]       # decrease indent
[etc.]

What this patch does is allow you in addition to add these to your mb2
mouse menu.  For example, my s script sources a file in my $home/lib
directory that looks like this:

cat <<!
M ^W
M ^-
M ^+
M ^T
M ^r D
M ^r mk install
M ^r mk clean
M |fmt -l 82
M ^r mk coarsen.install
M ^R ass
!
fn dicks {
	for(i in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12) mk testct^$i^.install
}

Then I can open the mouse menu and select ^T to write all open files,
or select a line of text and do ^+ to indent it, or run ^r mk install
to rebuild what I have in the current directory, or ^R d to open a
vdiff in the directory the current file is in, or !fmt -l 80 over the
selection, or run some command I've been using a lot, or [etc.]

It's just examples.  You can select something in the command window,
type M and 'send' it, and you have a menu item to re-run it at
moment's notice.  You delete menu items by just issuing the same M
command as before.  It's incredibly effective, I love it and I vouch
for it 1000%.

Thanks,
