When typing C-x 1 in a multi-window frame, the current window will fill
the entire frame, but all other windows will be deleted so that there will
be no going back to the previous multi-window setup. Is there any way to
achieve this expand/unexpand functionality without major elisp wizardry on
my part?

What about minor elisp wizardry on MY part?
(defun temporarily-expand ()
(interactive)
(save-window-excursion
(delete-other-windows)
(message "Finish with %s"
(describe-key-briefly (first (where-is-internal 'abort-recursive-edit))))

window-configuration-to-register is solution for your problem:
,----[ C-h f window-configuration-to-register RET ]
| window-configuration-to-register is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `register.el'.
| It is bound to C-x r w.
| (window-configuration-to-register register &optional arg)
|
| Store the window configuration of the selected frame in register register.
| Use C-x r j to restore the configuration.
| Argument is a character, naming the register.
|
| [back]

huh. Sorry, but [as a neophyt] how to use this snippet of code?
I did put it in .emacs, then open 2 windows, then M-x temporarily-
expand
but what else ?

M-x abort-recursive-edit
You may want to assign those commands to some key.

As a newbie, you need to learn to be aware of the mini-buffer and the
mode line. These are the two lines at the bottom of the emacs frame.
When youtype M-x temporary-expand RET, a message appears in the
mini-buffer tell you what to do then to revert to the initial window
confguration. Namely, type C-], with the standard keymap.
Otherwise, window-configuration-to-register is nice too.

(defvar toggle-one-window-window-configuration nil

(defun toggle-one-window ()

(if (one-window-p t)

Above the code that i use.

Incredible! first is not in basic emacs lisp, but in cl.el
You have to (require 'cl) to have it.
I have this require in my ~/.emacs so I'm oblivious to cl'isms...
I can't understand why RMS hasn't rewritten emacs in Common Lisp a
long time ago... (apart from him saying that he didn't like CL).

OK. Merci. I already know a bit of Emacs. But the clue was farther in
the thread: car instead of fist (Argh!!)

Add
(winner-mode 1)
to .emacs, then C-c left and C-c right move around in the history of
window configurations.

That's usually enough of a reason for most people.
LiCE compiled for me on sbcl recently[1]. It also
presumably runs on Movitz. It's not exactly production-
ready, and I'm not nearly enough of a cl hacker to work on
it, but it has the virtue (in my opinion) over other
attempts at a cl-based Emacs that it 1) runs in a tty, and
2) attempts an API for Emacs lisp, so that it could
eventually run (much of?) the existing Emacs lisp code. It
includes ELIZA, which at a glance looks like it was simple
to port. If LiCE ever gets to the point where it is even
reasonably usable I for one would be willing to do some of
the grunt work of trying to get Elisp libraries running on
it, assuming that ends up as straight-forward as it seems he
(Betts) intends it to be.

another possibility is having (winner-mode 1) in your .emacs
C-c left and C-c right (the default binding) will cycle between previous
window arrangements

Whoa, lots of different suggestions here. I'll check them all out and see
which one best suits the way I work. Thanks to all who replied!
