I want to use if for the following buffers: *Completions* *Help* *help[R](functionname)* I've tried the following regexps: (setq special-display-regexps '("^\\*Help\\*$" "^\\*Completions\\*$" "^\\*help\\[R\\]([a-z]*)\\*$")) This works fine for the first two, but the third doesn't catch. I've also tried with single \ and double \, as well as simpler things like "\*help.*" -- this works for regexp searches when I paste the buffer name into scratch, but they don't work for the special display. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Tyler
