+#summary Configuring Acme.
+
+= CONFIGURING ACME =
+
+Acme.exe is the same (mostly) as the inferno-os emu(1), so the command  
line arguments are the same (except for -I, see below). Acme.exe reads the  
EMU environment variable for options first, then processes the command line  
options.
+
+If no dis command is given on the command line to Acme.exe then the  
default command is 'sh -l', see sh(1). The -l option will cause the shell  
to run as a login shell, which means it first runs the file  
/lib/sh/profile, and then ./lib/profile if that file exists.
+
+/lib/sh/profile is mostly concerned with making sure a home directory  
exists for the current user, then changing to that directory, so  
the ./lib/profile in that users directory will be run, i.e.  
/usr/yourname/lib/profile.
+
+It is your $home/lib/profile where most of the action is. It sets up  
various things, namespace, factotum, environment variables (e.g. for  
fonts), and finally it launches acme.
+
+If you want to change the arguments that start the actual acme editor then  
edit your $home/lib/profile.
+
+If you want to change the command line arguments the Acme.exe, the  
emulator, then either modify EMU environment var, or on Nt create a  
shortcut, modify its properties changing the command line with the options  
you want.
+
+Also, edit $home/lib/profile if you want to add more things to your  
namespace at startup.
+
+= acme.exe vs. emu.exe =
+
+Emu.exe is built as a console application whereas acme.exe is built as a  
windows application. Therefore -I, which disables stdin/stdout for emu.exe  
has the opposite meaning for acme.exe, i.e. console stdin/stdout is  
disabled by default in acme.exe. But because it is a windows application  
even if you enable it, it still won't work; you'd need to rebuild acme.exe  
as a console application (an instance is on the downloads page).
+
+Acme.exe uses the current directory as the default root of the inferno  
tree; emu.exe uses /usr/inferno.
+
+Acme.exe starts the first shell as a login shell, emu.exe doesn't.
