RE: Searching for the same text, in the same sessions but in a different window

Hello Drew,

Thanks ofr the tip on [C-x 5 f]

I tried the pop-up-frames setting but that command does not seem to exist
for Gnue Emacs 21.3.1 (i586-suse-linux) of 2006-06-16

Nor does the pop-up-windows. But I do see these in my older Solaris version.
I'll have to see if I can get a newer version of Emacs installed. Another
poster indicated they are seeing appropriate behavior, but with a later
version of Emacs (and latter OS too -- but I don't get much input on THAT
topic.)

Thanks,

-=John
