i 've written a couple of lttle function making a new frame and doing some
stuff there eg.

(defun info-new-frame ()
  (select-frame (make-frame-command))
  (info))

now i stumbled across the function `select-frame-set-input-focus' which
doesn't do anything different to `select-frame' on my system win2000 system.
i guess its something X11-related.

so what's the generally more recommended function for a new frame:
`select-frame' or `select-frame-set-input-focus'?

thanks, leo
