Hi All,

I’m in the process of writing an interactive tutorial for plan9/acme. I’m 
hoping to demonstrate how to execute a command on a text file that uses the 
current selection as input.

According to the acme manual page there should be a /dev/acme/acme (or 
/mnt/acme/acme) directory that represents the current window within acme. There 
should be the usual body, ctl, addr, etc. files. On a regular document window 
I’m finding that the directory is empty. However, when I run an interactive 
“win” window the files are there for that window.

How does one get the /dev/acme/acme directory to be present in a normal 
document window? Alternatively, is there a simple way to find the index of the 
current acme window so that I can use the /dev/acme/x directory?

Thanks,
Chris
