IIRC, there's a package somewhere that tries to provide numbers to windows so the user can select windows by number... oh yes I see: http://nschum.de/src/emacs/window-numbering-mode/ and http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/window-number.el These packages try to solve the above problem. But they don't relate to how a window object gets printed, sadly. Stefan
