[9fans] Trouble finding current window directory in acme
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
