I am stuck on Microsoft Windows at work, and there I expect (just like a different proprietary platform I use at home): * to know which version of Emacs is actually running (emacs-version); * to know whether it is running on my local desktop or a remote server e.g. via RDP or Xming (system-name); * to know whether the buffer is visiting a file or not; and if so, what the full path is to a file (%f); otherwise, what Emacs has named it (%b). -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
