Info-ed, wiki-ed and googled; probably using he wrong search criteria. I have a notes.txt file I use to make extensive notes to myself while working on a project. I open it in a new frame so that it is next to my 'main' frame work and I can quickly cut and paste or write notes or check previous notes. I would like to add two features to this note.txt frame. Change the background (say colour linen) of this note.txt file when it is open in this special frame only. The rest of the time the background should remain standard white. Secondly, I want emacs (.emacs) to prevent (or warn me about) two open copies i.e buffers in any open frame, of this note.txt file when I start to open this special frame. -- Regards Bill
