if on the other hand you try to modify the name of a directory
listing frame, the tag line box is not filled. this is a hint
that you're doing something wrong. also there is no Put option.
this is a bigger hint that you're doing something wrong.
not really - +Errors windows fulfil both of those criteria,
but Put works fine in those.
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.
i agree it doesn't make sense to write a directory, but
you can't anyway, even if the interface allowed it,
and the resulting error message would be self-expanatory.
personally, i think that Put should work on any non-application
window, and that re-columnation should only take place if
the textual content hasn't been modified by the user. (and
probably also that if you change the name of a window to a directory
name and do "Get", that it would get a directory listing).
but YMMV as always.
