As a newbie, you need to learn to be aware of the mini-buffer and the mode line. These are the two lines at the bottom of the emacs frame. When youtype M-x temporary-expand RET, a message appears in the mini-buffer tell you what to do then to revert to the initial window confguration. Namely, type C-], with the standard keymap. Otherwise, window-configuration-to-register is nice too. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
