In this case I would suggest popping up a frame instead. No, my frame is huge. The problem is that it is already divided up, including a small window that sometimes/often gets chosen by Emacs for display-buffer. >> and 160, respectively. > >>> Setting `enable-recursive-minibuffers' to a non-nil value should allow >>> to do that. >> >> I've always been leery of doing that, just because I figured it's >> disabled-by-default for a reason, but I will try it.

I don't know; I've never tried it. I don't often try to do anything to a window other than the current one without leaving it. I'm a fairly experienced Emacs user; it seems to me that if I was stumped by this there must be a problem. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
