I've found options for removing the scroll bar, fringes, tool bar, and
menu bar. Is there an option to remove the mode line? (not that I see
any good reason for it -- I want to know, just for the sake of knowing
my options -- if there's a built-in option for that that I haven't
been able to find).
Thanks

I guess you could make it disappear playing with faces for example.

Yup, that answers my question all right! Thanks. My only follow up
question would be why it is that removing the mode line is a matter of
setting a variable, whereas removing other window elements (fringes,
scroll bar, etc.) is a matter of running a command.

We don't expect any user to really remove the modeline everywhere, so
there's no command to do it.

Makes sense -- thanks.
