I too used elscreen for a while, and while I was using it I did essentially what you did: put my applications on single frame. Although it was close to what I was looking for, still it wasn't ideal because it put things into a single frame. I actually like to have multiple frames: I fire up multiple emacs applications in distinct frames and then use Mac OS X's excellent Expose feature to move among my frames. I also played around with Drew Adams's 1on1 (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OneOnOneEmacs), but this seemed to be overkill, generally speaking. More specifically, some of the features don't seem to work on Mac OS X (at least, I couldn't get them to work) and it made working with gnus a real challenge. Remember is "always there" even when one commits a frame to the Planner :-> Jesse -- Jesse Alama ([EMAIL PROTECTED])e _______________________________________________ emacs-wiki-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-wiki-discuss
