I use sam in plan9port. I would like to wrap a sam command '.,$ > pv' into a very short one so that I can issue it easily without searching back in the command window. A similar command is '?\n\n?,/\n\n/ > pv', which might better justify this shortening. To achieve my goal, I have two ideas in mind:
1. If I can open more than one command window, than I can leave the string in one of them, and 'send' as needed, but is this possible? 2. The manual page mentions that sam listens to the edit port of plumb or sam.user named pipe. If they are available, I can communicate to sam by them. However, for the named pipe, I am not able to find sam.user in /tmp/ns.(username).:0, where the font server lives in. For the plumb, it is a little magical to me and I scratched my head and tried for a while but not getting anywhere. Hopefully some of you could shed me some light. Yuning
