Doesn't `screen' and similar programs give the ability to tile a text display with more than one virtual terminal? Can't Emacs be persuaded to use multiple `screen' virtual terminals as frames? If the answer to both is "yes" then can't that be usefully used as a way to prototype and try out the idea of "four framelets around a central edit area"? -t
