However, Keven Rodgers suggested (let ((default-frame-alist `((width . 75) (height . 55) ,@default-frame-alist))) (find-file-other-frame "~/Documents/C/Text/C-Notes.txt")) which I fooled around with quite a bit but I couldn't find a meaning for @default-frame-alist. Is this a typo or am I missing some good stuff I should be learning (i.e. the '@'prefix on a variable). I checked info etc. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1
