All I know is that the mode-line shows -F1 on a tty, and -F2 on the rare occasions that I use C-x 5 2 there. I've never seen the frame-name changed explicitly on a tty and since it is preceded by a hyphen, it would have to start with R- for to be an ambiguity. All the single character flags are on the left and I can't think of a better place for it (that doesn't mean there isn't a better one, of course). -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
