You'll notice that the second frame is marked as "XEmacs-2", and so on. Not documenting this is my fault -- I considered this method too kludgy to document. `%N' should probably be replaced with a specifier holding console-local values (XEmacs 21 allows the use of specifiers in the modeline). -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- Personifiers Unite!
