Is there any way to change that? First, I guess we'd want to make sure of whether you mean windows or frames. Emacs' nomenclature is a little unusual on that point. ,----[ (info "(emacs)Frames") ] | When using a graphical display, you can create multiple windows at the | system in a single Emacs session. Each system-level window that | belongs to Emacs displays a "frame" which can contain one or several | Emacs windows. A frame initially contains a single general-purpose | Emacs window which you can subdivide vertically or horizontally into | smaller windows. A frame normally contains its own echo area and | minibuffer, but you can make frames that don't have these--they use the | echo area and minibuffer of another frame. | | To avoid confusion, we reserve the word "window" for the | subdivisions that Emacs implements, and never use it to refer to a | frame. `---- I know that I can open more than two frames or windows, and do it frequently. Can you tell us what you do to try to open more than one? -- Charles Sebold 8th of December, 2008 GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) | Gnus v5.11 | org-mode 6.14
