Let's say all *info* and help buffers always opening in a special "Help" frame with predefined geometry. Switching to these buffers should also raise these frames. Think of how other Applications show helpcontent on F1, they raise another (X-) window. I was trying (setq special-display-buffer-names '("*info*")) but without success... Thanks for any help Rolf
