//As I mentioned earlier, wouldn't a frame with [sorted] listing of
//window tags be a cleaner solution for navigation?

i don't think so, no. how would it work? say i have some window
containing this list. how's it sorted? lists are one-dimensional; my
acme window arangement is not. while there's a trivial way to do
the transformation (go down col 1, then col 2...), that becomes
quite awkward, mentally.

but the biggest problem is that i want to look at a window and
know which file i'm editing. i have a lot of acme windows most of
the time, and counting down a list - even given some kind of
markers denoting col boundaries - seems like it would take
forever.

and how would commands work? how do you tell Put which
window to Put if they're all in a list?

actually, this all sounds so bad to me i've concluded i don't
really understand what you're suggesting. =E2=98=E2=98care to sort me out=
