But we did add one recently: Redo. Sean Dorward and I plugged Acme's file management stuff into Sam a few months ago. This made it much faster (a factor of 6 or 7) at reading big files, and made redo possible. (The command syntax is u with a negative count; u- redoes the last undone change). There have been many other changes triggered by changes in Plan 9, rendering the Plan 9 source quite different from the publicly available version of Sam, but if someone is interested in doing the work I will send them the code. -rob
