:-) Must be a reason. Maybe even a good one. The tip in speedbar.el was to map a keystroke to 'speedbar-get-focus. Doing so, is a great help. <...> > My code to shrink-wrap frames resizes a frame to fit the selected window.

Well, shrink wrapping *is not* what I was looking for, but it *will* prove to be very useful. (serendipity!) Thanks for pointing me that way.
