===== acme images =====

A brief mention of acme, for those who are attending the SDF Plan 9 Boot Camp.

|''% acme''|

{{:plan9-acme-1.png?nolink|Acme, while the pointer is over the text “New”, or the middle button of your mouse while the pointer is over the text “Mail”}}

  - Press the middle button of your mouse while the pointer is over the text “New” (to the left), in the row marked with a **1**.
  - Type the text “win” in the row, or newly created area, marked with a **2**.
  - Press the middle button of your mouse while the pointer is over the text “win” in the row, or newly created area, marked with a **2**.
  - Type the text “Mail” in the row marked with a **3**.
  - Press the middle button of your mouse while the pointer is over the text “Mail”, in the row marked with a **3**.

{{:plan9-acme-2.png?nolink|Acme, and the right button of your mouse while the pointer is used to highlight a file name}}

  - Press the right button of your mouse while the pointer is used to highlight a file name.

//1//.) From a Plan 9 Rio rc prompt.

===== sam =====

|x|[[:playground:plan9_tutorial_sam|Text Editing with the sam editor]]|

Sam is a text editor. While the cursor is over the sam window, press the right button of your mouse and drag the cursor over the file name. Release the right mouse button once the cursor is over the file name. The cursor pointer will change to a square. Press the right button, while the square cursor is over the lower panel, to load the file in the lower panel.

{{:sam-editor1.png?nolink|While the cursor is over the ‘sam’ window, press the right button of your mouse and drag the cursor over the file name}}

<code>
  % sam /rc/bin/termrc.local
</code>

A few words about (**w**) writing the file, and how to (**q**) quit “sam”. Commands (//sam -d//) are typed in the upper panel, while edits are typed in the lower panel. Press the left mouse button to activate the upper panel, or the lower panel. Type a ‘**w**’ in the upper panel, then press the carriage return. This saves the file. Type a ‘**q**’ in the upper panel, then press the carriage return. This quits “sam”.

Sam uses it's own cut/paste buffer. Exchange it with Rio's cut/paste buffer by using the <**rio**> option in the middle button (2) menu of sam.

The following edit (''% sam -d'') will work from the [[:plan9front_-_acme_sam_abaco_mothra_and_man#sam|VM console]] rc prompt, or from the upper sam panel.

<code>
  % mkdir samlearn
  % cd samlearn
</code>

<code>
  % cp /lib/ndb/local local2
  % sam -d local2
  -. local2

===== ed =====

Ed is a text editor, and similar to [[#sam|sam -d]]. Using the ''% sam -d'' examples from [[#sam|Sam]], it's possible to use ''% ed''. The mentioned examples are from a Drawterm Rio rc prompt.

<code>
  % cd samtest
  % cp /lib/ndb/local local-1ed

===== abaco =====

^9p.sdf.org html index file location^
|''/usr/$user/html/index.html''|

You can use [[http://lab-fgb.com/abaco/|Abaco]] to browse the web<sup>1</sup>. (Abaco is available in a default Plan 9 system.) You'll need to have your IP configured and DNS working in order to browse the web. After that, you'll have to run “webfs” and __then__<sup>2</sup> “abaco”. If you don't have a “/usr/$user/lib/webcookies” file, //touch// it once. (You may want to add “webfs” in your “$home/lib/profile” just before plumber and rio.)

{{:plan9-abaco-1.png?nolink|When ‘abaco’ starts, you can go to a webpage by clicking “New” with the middle button of the mouse, typing the address in the row below}}

<code>
  % touch /usr/$user/lib/webcookies
</code>

<code>
  % webfs
  % abaco
</code>

When abaco starts, you can go to a webpage by clicking “//New//” with the middle button of the mouse, typing the address in the row below the one with “//Del Snarf Get …//” (see the previous figure: it's the one where the current legacy address is), and pressing “[**Enter**]” on your keyboard. You can follow links by clicking on them, as is usual, with the left button (the shape of the cursor won't change, though).

<sup>1</sup> An http URL. <sup>2</sup> Both commands are used on one line with a separator: “''% webfs; abaco''”. <sup>3</sup> Another way to run Abaco.
