Richard> Richard> I don't follow that. I run exclusively on the console, ie no X. I hve lots of buffers open, and prefer to organize them in frames, with ech frame holding related buffers. If I could place each frame on a separate virtual console where I'm already logged in, then I could switch among those frames by hitting alt-f, and then use emacs' buffer switching commands in that frame to manage the orde rin which buffers are cycled through in that particular frame. At present I move among frames by naming them first; but if I forget to move to the named frame first, then I end up with buffers that I'd ideally leave in one frame getting accessed in another. -- Best Regards, --raman Email: raman@users.sf.net WWW: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/ AIM: emacspeak GTalk: tv.raman.tv@gmail.com PGP: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/raman-almaden.asc Google: tv+raman IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#emacs
