I was under the impression that one could define a whole WINDOWPATH
with, say, "3:2" expressing that the client is running on VT3, window 2
of that VT but I do not remember the details and I think Samuel's
response shows that I was wrong.

Isn't perfect the enemy of good, here?

Several years ago I wrote bless, a pun on braille less I never released
it. Now it has decayed and I read in Emacs where I do have to scroll.

I hope you will publish, as much as I hope Nicolas will publish Firelynx
one day. No matter in which state these tools are, I think they can only
be better than the current "nothing at all".

Seb.
