We'd still have to specify such objects (I suppose they would get first class rating like buffers or windows) decide how they are allowed to tile a frame (which would be mostly a copy of the window making, splitting, and deleting code) and provide some hooks for the window management code to work (alternatively?) within a framelet or a frame. martin
