--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs21 Version: 21.1-5 Severity: minor q works to quit out of info under these circumstaces (burying *info*) , and will quit out of *Help* by burying the Help window when help is invoked where there are two windows to start with, but when help is the only window, q doesn't bury the buffer or do anything else. This is related to the fact that I use: (nconc same-window-buffer-names '("*Apropos*" "*Buffer List*" "*Help*")) in my .emacs. However, there is no problem for *Apropos* or *Buffer List*, both of which also pop up a second window if there is only one unless they are in same-window-buffer-names. The only difference I notice between help and the others is that when you quit out of help after invoking it in single window mode (without "*Help*" in same-window-buffer-names), the window that help popped up goes away and leaves you with a single window. *Apropos* and *Buffer List* don't do this, the buffer just goes but the window that got created for it stays. Maybe the best of both worlds would be to have *Apropos* and *Buffer List* mimic the nice behavior of help where it remembers the old window setup (this seems tricky though, since it seems hard to figure out if the user hasn't started making use of the other window in some way ?), but have *Help* mimic the behavior of *Apropos* *Buffer List* Dired etc. where quit works when there is only a single window. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux anorien 2.4.16 #1 Tue Nov 27 12:37:49 AKST 2001 i586 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= Versions of packages emacs21 depends on: ii dpkg 1.9.18 Package maintenance system for Deb ii emacsen-common 1.4.13 Common facilities for all emacsen. ii libc6 2.2.4-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libjpeg62 6b-4 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblockfile1 1.03 NFS-safe locking library, includes ii libncurses5 5.2.20010318-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpng2 1.0.12-2 PNG library - runtime ii libtiff3g 3.5.5-6 Tag Image File Format library ii xaw3dg 1.5-9 Xaw3d widget set ii xlibs 4.1.0-9 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.1.3-18 compression library - runtime
