No, this was an error in the installation commands.

Have you reported it to them? It could be added to Emacs.app pretty easily I think, though right now priorities are on bug-fixing and code cleanup. > 5) The close button seems to be disabled when there's only one > window.

It is possible that adding a configurable option as you suggest would be acceptable. Do you know if it is the plain Carbon Emacs that has this behavior, or is it only in the distributions (Carbon Emacs Package, Aquamacs, etc.)? > 6) The File menu includes "make frame on display..." but as far as I > know, the display name parameter isn't used except under X, is it? > (The documentation specifically refers to X.) Since "make frame" is > already there, this seems redundant. True. When "ns-extended-platform-support-mode" is enabled, this issue is fixed. (This mode may be removed from emacs CVS soon though.) Thanks for your feedback!
