rect - delete/replace a rectangular area of text in an acme window

SYNOPSIS

rect [ replacement ]

DESCRIPTION

Rect deletes a rectangular area of text in an acme window. If replacement is given, it replaces each line in the rectangle with the replacement. The input rectangular area is specified by making a selection in the acme window. The beginning and end of the selection define the top left and bottom right corners of the rectangle.

Rect is useful when dealing with text in multi-column formats (e.g., log files). It can also be used to comment/uncomment, indent/unindent source code.
