Having the prolog buffer in a different frame.

Having the prolog buffer in a different frame.

[Lars Bungum]

Hi folks!

I'm using prolog mode (prolog.el) and it works well, but there is one 
little issue that bugs be.  If I choose "Consult" a file, region or 
buffer, it compiles and evaluates and opens a new prolog session with 
the new predicates taken in mind *within* the current frame.  I like to 
have two frames, though, with the prolog session next to the one editing 
the predicates.

Basically, I would like to tell Emacs, that if there already is a prolog 
session (buffer) running in a different frame, it should not open a new 
view of this in the current frame.

How? :)

Try setting `pop-up-frames' to `t'. Otherwise, check the doc for prolog-mode
(`C-h m' when you're in prolog mode) to see if there is a specific option
for this. Try also `M-x apropos RET prolog'.

Thanks, Drew, that worked like a charm.  I felt a little useless as I 
didn't know how to .emacs this setting.  So for googlers:

(setq pop-up-frames t)

Thanks a bunch.
