I'm sending this to the list because I don't remember who was talking
about it in #plan9 some days ago. Somebody suggested to modify rio to
open all the windows at fullscreen, this way you could run several
rios as if they were workspaces.

I have found more practical to add an -I option to run rio in "non
interactive mode", which means: windows have no borders, there is no
button3 menu and new windows are open by default at full screen size.
Very few modifications were needed. If the person from the irc channel
or somebody else is interested I can send the code (I asked for a
contrib dir some time ago, btw).

I also have a question. I'm running this script to open rio with workspaces :
%vx ; cat bin/rc/riows
#!/bin/rc

labels=$*
if(test $#labels -lt 1)
	labels=(1 2 3 4)

rio.b -I -i'\
	for(label in $labels)
		window -miny 40 ''rio -i ''''label ''$label''''''''
	# give time to set all the labels
	sleep 0.5
	window -dy 39 ''winwatch -e ''''^(winwatch|stats|faces)'''''''

My question is: what is the better way to avoid that lot of quotes? I
can think of variables or functions, but I wonder what is the idiom
for nested quotes.

Kind regards,
