Since display-buffer is an interactive built-in function, it's probably something I'm doing wrong, not a bug in Emacs. Perhaps you can help me figure out what is wrong. The value of special-display-buffer-names is: (("bstat" ((font . "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--13-120-75-75-C-80-ISO8859-1") (foreground-color . "black") (background-color . "LightGray") (height . 44) (width . 80) (left . 349) (top . 79) (minibuffer) (menu-bar-lines . 0)))) When I invoke display-buffer to display the (currently undisplayed) buffer "bstat", it does automatically display it in a pop-up frame, as it should (based on the value of special-display-buffer-names); but it does NOT apply any of the frame parameters specified in the alist when it creates that frame. Yet when I invoke special-display-popup-frame as shown here: (let ((buf (assoc "bstat" special-display-buffer-names))) (special-display-popup-frame (car buf) (cadr buf))) I get exactly what I expected to get by invoking display-buffer, including all of the specified frame parameters. Can anyone see something I'm doing wrong? T.I.A. --Greg
