A few months ago I switched over to FSF Emacs-multi-tty and so far it's been going pretty well. One difference that has been niggling me is that XEmacs used to keep the recently-used buffer listing on a per-tty/frame basis, whereas Emacs-multi-tty seems to just have a global list. For example, I typically have separate emacs tty's for my mail client, for calendar/diary, and for my coding. In XEmacs, list-buffers called from the coding tty would list all the code-related buffers at the top, whereas in multi-tty emacs, I get a mixture of buffers from all three ttys. It's obvious that the XEmacs way is preferrable. Is there any chance of this feature being implemented in the multi-tty patch? (or is it even something that applies to the main Emacs branch?) Cheers, Len. (The other issue is that other ttys get blocked if one of them is waiting on input in the minibuffer. Apparently this single keyboard mode is intentional, but it's annoying nontheless, and certainly a trick for new players)
