Re: display-message-or-buffer?

MESSAGE may be either a string or a buffer. A buffer is displayed using `display-buffer' if MESSAGE is too long for the maximum height of the echo area, as defined by `max-mini-window-height' if `resize-mini-windows' is non-nil. Returns either the string shown in the echo area, or when a pop-up buffer is used, the window used to display it. If MESSAGE is a string, then the optional argument BUFFER-NAME is the name of the buffer used to display it in the case where a pop-up buffer is used, defaulting to `*Message*'. In the case where MESSAGE is a string and it is displayed in the echo area, it is not specified whether the contents are inserted into the buffer anyway. Optional arguments NOT-THIS-WINDOW and FRAME are as for `display-buffer', and only used if a buffer is displayed." There's probably a simple equivalent, but the implementation in emacs doesn't run in xemacs (unsurprisingly). I can't remember right now, but I think it's because xemacs doesn't have the variables resize-mini-windows and max-mini-window-height. Ray P.S. The function isn't very big. It's 67 lines including docstring. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
