> How do I make emacs display the active file in the title bar of the X emacs > window? Thanks With the current FSF V18.57 release of GNU Emacs, you cannot do this. However, the "unofficial HP GNU Emacs" contains a C (not elisp) function called `x-HP-set-window-name' which allows you to change the window name (this is merely a throwaway, stopgap function to use until V19 is released). You do need an ICCCM-compliant window manager, though. Using this function, it wouldn't be difficult to do most of what you want. Please don't ask me to post patches, as I don't have the time to separate out this function from the *many* X changes made to this version. If you want to see how it's done, just grab the sources to the "unofficial HP GNU Emacs". If you're a member of INTEREX, it's on this year's contrib tape; if you're not, I have been told that a copy can be obtained via anonymous ftp from me10.lbl.gov (128.3.128.110 -- the filename is supposedly "/pub/interex/HUGE.tar.Z"). -- Darryl Okahata Internet: darrylo@sr.hp.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion or policy of Hewlett-Packard or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
