If you just want to reproduce the windows show in that picture: C-x 1 C-x 2 C-x 3 If you want to have automatically a specific windows at the bottom, even when you type C-x 1, or C-x 3 in that bottom window, I would suggest to add code in the window-configuration-change-hook to check the windows and re-arrange them or re-create the bottom window everytime it's needed. (See the function window-tree and window-parameters). Otherwise, you may explore (in emacs sources) the mini-buffer, which stays at the bottom. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/
