Which parameters are meaningul, and for which windows? Just remove that. We do not document those things at those places. E.g. we do not document the list of special text-properties in the set-text-property functions. > - It is wise to return (in `window-parameter' and > `set-window-parameter') directly the parameter alist, instead of a > copy of it? It's probably OK for window-parameters to return the alist itself, tho a copy-alist wouldn't hurt. OTOH I did miss the fact that window-parameter returns the cons-cell rather than just the value of the parameter. This is an error. Also I think that set-window-parameter should not return the alist, but the value just set (i.e. `val'). Stefan
