I see 2 issues with this arrangement: 1. even though I can imagine that I might want to have one 160-char-wide window every once in a while, by far the more common situation would be wanting to preserve 2 columns. Thus I would want C-x 1 to delete all other windows in the current column and leave the other column intact (as if the other column were a separate frame glued to this one side by side) 2. it would be nice to be able to drag the separator between the columns with the mouse to resize the windows, much like it is done with the vertically split windows (one can drag the mode line). -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) http://jihadwatch.org http://camera.org http://pmw.org.il http://dhimmi.com http://iris.org.il http://openvotingconsortium.org If at first you don't suck seed, try and suck another seed.
