Can't see help window until I select it

Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask this. Comp.emacs.xemacs doesn't seem very active. I installed the latest release of Cygwin and XEmacs on a new box a couple of days ago. I've got almost everything working the way I want it, with a couple of exceptions. When I do something that should show a "help" window, like "describe-function", the only indication I have that help has been presented is "Type q to remove help window, space to scroll the help" appearing in the status area. The help window does not appear. If I then do "switch-to-buffer", I see that the help window that I requested is at the top of the list, so I press Enter, and now I have my help window. What might I be missing that is preventing help windows from automatically presenting themselves in a convenient fashion? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
