I never tried to use pp-eval-expression, but I'm curious [I use a separate minibuffer frame made of a single long line, so pp-eval-expression wouldn't be much use for me anyway]. If I try it with M-x pp-eval-expression RET '(let ((x 1)) x) RET it pops up a new frame showing that sexp on a few lines. I find this a bit inconvenient: if I want a separate frame, I'd rather use M-x ielm. Stefan
