Look needs a context in which to search. the context is an acme window, so you'll either need to select a text in an acme window and execute the Look command *in the banner for that window* or you'll need to type the text behind the Look command in the same window again. you'll need to have some text in that window in order to search through it.
clicking selected text (or a word) with the third mouse button will do exactly the same as look if the text does not appear to be a file name. the documentation is good for explaining what everything does, trust Russ. the initial environment that glenda starts up with is a good sandbox to play with acme. try typing "acme" and "acme(1)" in the same window in acme. try right-clicking the text "acme(1)" and see what it does. now try middle-clicking it and see what it does. here's what the documentation says: Look: Search in body for occurrence of literal text indicated by the argument or, if none is given, by the selected text in the body.
