My sentence above is misleading: It's a sloppy abbreviation for the two sentences "The purpose of 'display-buffer' is to set up a window for one single buffer. Hence 'display-buffer-alist' can only be used for customizing the setup of a window for one single buffer - the one specified by the first argument of 'display-buffer'." So if anything would have to be clarified here, it's the doc of 'display-buffer'. Now conceptually, 'display-buffer' can be called multiple times in a row and should do something reasonable in that case - if programmed correctly. But it cannot be used for setting up windows for two or more buffers in one single call and that should be evident from its doc-string. martin
