bug#64354: 29.0.91; (emacs) `Registers'

[Drew Adams]

The node says this in the beginning:

 A register can store a position, a piece of text, a rectangle, a
 number, a window configuration, or a file name, but only one thing at
 any given time.  Whatever you store in a register remains there until
 you store something else in that register.  To see what register R
 contains, use 'M-x view-register':

But the subnodes also talk about holding a frame-configuration in a
register.  Should the top-level node be updated similarly?

What's more, there's no subnode for frame-configuration registers.  Instead, although the node name wasn't updated, use of such registers was simply added to the node titled `Saving Window Configurations in Registers'.  A frame config is not a window config.  The node is named (for `Info-goto-node') `Configuration Parameters', so putting this info in that node is fine.  But the node title is misleading.

Fixed, thanks.

Instead, although the node name wasn't updated, use of such registers was simply added to the node titled `Saving Window Configurations in Registers'.  A frame config is not a window config.  The node is named (for `Info-goto-node') `Configuration Parameters', so putting this info in that node is fine.  But the node title is misleading.

Fixed on the emacs-29 branch, and closing the bug.
