Have you tried splitting the window and then switching to the speedbar
in the new window?

Tried that.  That doesn't work.  If I switch to the speedbar after splitting
the window, it takes up the whole window.  And if I switch back to my
buffer, it gets back to the split window.

Hmm, speedbar seems in the terminal always to be in a separate frame
on its own.  What seems to work however is to split the speedbar
(frame).  You're in speedbar and just type C-x 3.  Then you're able to
see the speedbar and can use the other window as well for other
buffers.

No.  It would require substantial changes in the basic design philospohy
of speedbar.

Frame in a window ?

[Ganesh]

Hi,

I am an emacs novice and have been using it for the past 2-3 months.  I
usually use it in text-only terminal mode.  I recently installed speedbar
and started using it.  From what I read about speedbar, it runs is a
separate frame.  From speedbar's website : "When used in terminal mode, the
new frame appears the same size as the terminal."

My question is this : Is it possible to have a frame in a window so that I
have both the speedbar and the file that I editing visible ?  Alternately,
is it possible to run speedbar in a window instead of a frame ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ganesh
