9win - create a Plan 9 window within Inferno
9win [ -s ] [ -x width ] [ -y height ] [ cmd [ arg ... ] ]
9win creates a window for a graphical Plan 9 command (default rio) to run in. If provided, width and height give a desired width and height for the new window. Cmd gives the command to run, and arg its arguments.
The -s option tells 9win to run in server mode. Used by 9cpu (1), it exports on its standard input a namespace suitable for a graphical Plan 9 program to run within. With this option, no command may be given.

9win does not export a full rio environment, so Plan 9 programs that wish to create new windows will not work correctly (unless running inside a rio started by 9win)
