Emacs isn't looking at things from the point of the user. Yes, "check the buffer list, the page is already there". But that crimps my style. Likewise, it would be nice if M-x compile would put a false "make -k" into (its?) history list, that way we could use ESC p to get back to it even if we from the start used other compile commands. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
