I don't know if they do. The man page for acme references sam directly (and basically tells the reader to check out sam's man page): Edit Treat the argument as a text editing command in the style of sam(1). The full Sam language is implemented except for the commands k, n, q, and !. The = command is slightly different: it includes the file name and gives only the line address unless the command is explicitly =#. The `current window' for the command is the body of the window in which the Edit command is executed. Usually the Edit command would be typed in a tag; longer commands may be prepared in a scratch win- dow and executed, with Edit itself in the current win- dow, using the 2-1 chord described below.
