The first was that you had an app to search through RAM. Back in the DOS days there was such a thing. Haven't heard of such a creature for Linux (though it wouldn't be a huge job to code it). > Tabbar and tabbar-ruler [fn:1] help you by having each buffers title > shown in tabs at the top of the emacs buffer.

That sounds cool. Yeah, I'm well aware of tabs in general, but had never seen or heard of them for emacs. Sounds like that would be handy in situations... though many times I need to have two buffers visible at the same time, or also one and the same buffer open in two different frames, both visible at the same time. So do tabbar/tabbar-ruler allow that as well, say, by doing "C-x 5 b chosen-buf"...? or is it mandated that henceforth all buffers will be tabbed and only so (so long as tabbar/tabbar-ruler is invoked)?
