and you can do each of a long sequence with a single mouse click
once you've selected the "u".
i must say that running sam under X11, i've found it much easier to use since:
a) using 9term - which means i'm using the same input model most
of the time when entering commands - eg. previously i found it hard
to get the hang of the `output point' in the sam command window, now it
seems perfectly natural.
b) adding the patch which gives "mouse-to-type" - so it matches my window
manager and other windowing applications. previously i frequently
typed in the "wrong" window requiring a subsequent "undo". i also now find
it less irksome going to the command window for a single command,
