226 ;;Quote: Acme executes non-builtin commands in the window's directory; each window has related windows for standard output and standard error output

226 ;;Quote: the right mouse button indicates arguments to a generalized search facility that locates files, file locations, and text

226 ;;Quote: Acme avoids needless clicking; no click-to-type, no pull-down menus, automatic window placement, context-dependent selection

226 ;;Quote: Acme's window placement: new windows created in the active column, 'execute' and 'search' do not change active window, output windows to the right, large blank spaces consumed

228 ;;Quote: programmable control of Acme through predefined files for each window: body text, tag text, character address, data at address, control, and events

229 ;;Quote: the 'event' file for an Acme window records all changes, execute, and search events for the window

229+;;Quote: Acme reports changes to a window/file after the change is made; allows multiple agents to make changes in response to changes

232+;;Quote: avoid the clumsy top-level event loop via concurrent processing

233 ;;Quote: for editing large files, use a temporary file to hold the text of the visible portion
