A shell's > on addr no longer resets it, so echo /re/ > addr searches on
Truncating addr reset it to #0, so a shell's find-and-replace loop matched the first hit for ever, .+#1 read 1 1 each time, and foo x foo y foo became foobarbarbar... acme resets addr on the first open (xfid.c:105-108), for clients that hold the fid; a shell cannot. Here neither an open nor a truncation resets it: the address written is evaluated from the last one, and 0 or , starts over. Documented as a departure from acme.

Pitfalls, one each:
Each open of pane/new makes another pane (ls, stat, find never do); rmdir closes even a dirty one.
- addr takes #n,#m or /regexp/ from the current address (^ $ per line); a failed one refuses data.

tag reads the path, then its own text; writes append; truncating clears it, default words too.
A terminal's body is a history snapshot frozen per open; pty/data is the live stream.
