(Maybe I'm just hopelessly tainted, but I think a number of emacs' features are reasonable. :-) Scott, This suggestion, I am afraid, is just plain stupid, emacs or no. You don't want the command window replaced with the window you just said B about. Pike did an excellent job designing the sam interface. The single click to place the usual edit window is just what you want. Sometimes, you want to put the command window in the middle of the top-level window, and have edit windows above and below. If you want them to overlap, you can, although as has been observed here before, tiling is usually more useful. It's not broken and doesn't need any fixing. OK, John.
