At this point, all we need to say is (1) [mouse-1] on a tab goes to that buffer and the doc-strings for (2) `buffers-tab-items' which says "This is the tab filter for the top-level buffers \"Buffers\" tab. It dynamically creates a list of buffers to use as the contents of the tab. Only the most-recently-used few buffers will be listed on the tab, for efficiency reasons. You can control how many buffers will be shown by setting `buffers-tab-max-size'. You can control the text of the tab items by redefining the function `format-buffers-menu-line'." and (3) `select-buffers-tab-buffers-by-mode' which says "For use as a value of `buffers-tab-selection-function'. This selects buffers by major mode `buffers-tab-grouping-regexp'." OK, we can prettify it and expand on it a little, but that's really all there is for basic use. AFAICT the X resources and other configuration parameters for appearance change hourly.... That level of detail is going to have to wait until things stabilize a little more (unless Andy wants to write them and keep them current). -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
