Agreed.

And obviously such a scratch space can itself be saved, which is useful for
the next editing session of the files in question.

many people keep an additional text file open as scratchspace and
command buffer for other winows.
this is nicer than the multiline p9p tagline or other solutions like
scrolling sideways in the plan 9 acme.

The tour of the acme editor should help answer a lot of your questions:

Basically, I think so.

I'd just add that
1) command can actually appear anywhere (but then it may clutter the
main text)
2) if the command is one word, then ESC is not necessary
3) you may keep several commands there, one kept highlighted
for immediate use
4) in p9p the tag line can have several lines

In VIM, I can input ...comand, in Acme I have to move cursor to 
command area and click, input command, press ,  click middle mouse button 
on the highlighted command, is this the fastest way to input command in Acme?

I'm not arguing Vim is better, I agree some operations are faster in Vim and 
some faster in Acme,  I just want to know the most efficient way in Acme.

Thanks in advance for your kindly help!
