I find its documentation hard to understand, > so I am not sure what it does. I, too, found tabbar.el difficult to understand. I use a different package, elscreen.el, to perform the same function. Because elcreen.el uses essentially the same interface as GNU Screen (with C-z as the command prefix rather than C-a as used in screen) I was able to use it immediately. It's really a brilliant piece of software that I'd love to see incorporated into Emacs proper. Another nice feature of ElScreen is that it works flawlessly on Windows. It's one of the first packages I install when I set up a new Emacs instance. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ElScreen Josh
