When I run emacs, it runs emacs-gtk. I used the ~/.emacs file as given - but I had to comment out one line: ;(load-library "mindent") I used the ~/.Xresources file as given: xrdb ~/.Xresources I run emacs on two files: emacs a b I run the ediff-buffers command: M-x ediff-buffers The help window appears in a new buffer inside the main window, not in a new window. The ebuffers command behaves the same. How do I get it in a new window? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
