M-: (setq mode-line-format nil) 3. Type `C-x 2'. Now the frame is split vertically into two windows, but the only visual indication of the split is two cursors, and there is AFAICT no way to resize the windows by dragging the mouse. 4. Type `C-x 1' and then `C-x 3'. Now the frame is split horizontally into two windows, visually obvious due to the scroll bar, but here too there is AFAICT no way to resize the windows by dragging the mouse (there is no "handle" under the scroll bar). 5. Click in the righthand window, giving it focus, then click with mouse-1 in the echo area. Now the lefthand window (the *Messages* buffer) has a mode line, but there is still no way to resize the windows by dragging the mouse (still no "handle" under the scroll bar). 6. With focus still in the righthand window, type `C-x 1' then `C-x 3' again, and, now with focus in the lefthand window (*scratch*), click again with mouse-1 in the echo area. Now the righthand window has a mode line, and now there is a "handle" under the scroll bar (graphically denoted by the appearance of `<-|->' in the mode line when the mouse pointed is over it), and it is possible to resize the windows by dragging the mouse. 7. Put focus back in the *scratch* window (which lacks a mode line), type `C-x 1', then `M-: (set-scroll-bar-mode nil)', and then `C-x 3'. Now there is a thin vertical line separating the two windows, and when the mouse is over this line or within the fringe to the left of it, the "handle" appears and it is possible to resize the windows by dragging the mouse. (Contrast this with the case of vertical splitting in 3.)
