Are we talking about the same thing? Pietro's link is for an old
paper by Rob Pike talking about the mux windowing system. There
aren't really any examples.
And I *am* a student, trying to get other students interested in Plan
9. I wrote http://csplan9.rit.edu/users/john/RITintro.ps for
prospective users of the RIT Plan 9 system, you can look at that if
you want.

Much of the paper still applies to rio. From mux to rio few changes
were made. Possibly the two biggest changes were resizing/moving from
the borders and hold mode.
