use?  | Plan 9-command Send the range to the standard input, and replace it by the standard output, of the Plan 9 command. Thus, run something like `,|fold -s` or `,|fmt` to format long lines in, for example, your emails. -- Humm

Quoth Duke Normandin: I'm new to Plan9. I don't know fuck all! So I gotta start at the beginning - NOT at sysadmin level. Off to Google ... The beginning is the name. The thing you use is “9front”. The abandoned thing is “Plan 9”. Note the blank.
