Well, I am working on the inputs provided by the list members. - I am now getting the scroll bar above the modeline and for ever new frame (NOT for the MINI-BUFFER) I did a quick hack in w32term.c along the same lines of w32_set_vertical_scroll_bar () and did other changes for horizontal scroll. I am facing problems in "redeem"... I need to understand the way windows in GNU Emacs works before I can come up with a robust solution. With RMS's concern of having a MS-WIN specific feature, I fully agree. I do not know 'X' windows stuff. I will do this for MS-windows and once it is complete, I will send the modified files for review/porting. with regards, dhruva -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Home: http://www32.brinkster.com/schemer/
