Hey Steve, when you
term% plumb whatever you operate wthin the namespace of the rc window, when you mid-click+plumb, or right click somewhere you operate in the namespace of the system, which you can examine for example by: plumb 'Local ns>/tmp/main.ns' # at least if you have no strange /tmp binds (as with ramfs) Anyway plumb 'Local …' is your friend when building the system namespace that is used for the mouse clicks. But the plan9 plumber even much more flexible than that, as you can start concurrent plumber in one system or mount remote plumbers to exchange data with remote machines. So the concepts just feels like Copy&Paste Operations on the first glimpse, but can be extended to get you completely confused, when you don't know what you're doing. So always know your namespace, or at least the customized part of it, is a good first hint, I think. ingo
