You may call it a hint. I noticed the 'Put' doesn't appear there. But (non-)existence of sth in the tag line doesn't mean it can't be issued. Moreover, I still can't see why it can't work. If I change the tag line by appending a name (which is not, say, a name of a directory within the current directory), I don't understand why this couldn't be saved... and the window couldn't represent the new (or changed) file from now on. > the reason that directories behave differently is that in acme > programs are allowed to take over a window. while the directory > listing is built in, it operates on the same principle, and it does > not make sense to write a directory through acme's interface. > > - erik I don't get what you mean...
