Open a buffer, do C-x 2. Now move point in one of the windows. Now you see that you have the same buffer in two windows, with two different values of point. It is not enough to have a point in each window: what happens if you insert text at point in a buffer which is not displayed in a window? Therefore, each buffer also has point. XEmacs makes sure that buffer's point is always the same as the current window's point. (This means C-x o in the example above will move buffer's point.) Whee. Thanks for bringing this up. It wasn't clear to me before. But it seems logical. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop 3p!sdn (Frank Nobis)
