Hi, 

I'd like to revert back to the old, pseudo-graphical interface of
emacs. That one playing ascii-graphics and using window-manager
features for the drop-down menus. I am limited in bandwidth and can't
use the full-windowized and -iconized design of the latest emacs. No,
I don't want to use the -nw switch since it provides not-at-all equal
functionality, especially at mouse usage.

Is it possible to adjust this, or do I need to switch back to an elder
version of emacs?

MfG  rutzi

You can still do that with the latest versions of Emacs, but it is
a compilation option, so you have to recompile with --with-x-toolkit=no.

As for emacs -nw and mouse, xterm-mouse-mode tries to remove this limit,
although it's admittedly not as good.

Does a (tool-bar-mode nil) line in your .emacs do what you want?
Maybe I'm still using an 'elder version', GNU Emacs 21.2.1 .  I like
it.

Should be (tool-bar-mode -1), see `C-h f tool-bar-mode RET'.

But it makes much more sense to use "Emacs.toolBar: 0" in
`~/.Xresources':

,----[ (info "(emacs)Resources X") ]
| `toolBar' (class `ToolBar')
|      Number of lines to reserve for the tool bar.  A zero value
|      suppresses the tool bar.
`----

Bye, Reiner.
