I'm sure it will take some work but I'm not suggesting that *all* the buffers buffers are displayed in tabbed windows, just as currently not all the buffers are displayed in normal windows. In terms of lisp interface, for example, there could be optional extra argument to display-buffer which gets ignored if Emacs doesn't support tabbed windows for the toolkit with which it has been built. --- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
