using new frame instead of splitting window

using new frame instead of splitting window

[Jielei Fan]

Hello!

Could someone help me,

how to use new frame instead of splitting window.

For example, if I use a command in miniwindow ,but the result comes out from
the miniwindow, I want to let emacs use a new frame to show the result.

How to do it?

Thanks!

depending on commands you can show it in some special frame like this:

     (setq special-display-buffer-names
           '("*Completions*" "*grep*" "*tex-shell*"))

please have a look at:

(info "(emacs)Special Buffer Frames")

but when the command output is only in the mini-buffer I do not know a
direct method sending it to a buffer in a special frame.  (Though the
mini-buffer output is also found in the *message* buffer (C-h e).)
