I apologize if the answer is sitting in > the Emacs manual. There *is* an Emacs mode for putting files into a group/list and then operate on the whole list of files - but unfortunately I don't remember its name anymore. It seemed quite powerful (and works with icicles etc). And then there are [[http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OccurMode#IciclesOccur][multi-occur]] and 'M-x find-grep' that both offer a second result window allowing to scroll through the search results in several buffers. -- cheers, Thorsten
