[comp.emacs] Multiple display windows from the same GNU emacs

cmkuo@cs.utexas.edu (Chin-Ming Kuo) (02/17/89)

Can I have two seperate display windows ( not buffers) from the same
GNU emacs process under X? A search through interactive x-functions
reveals something like x-change-display, or x-new-display seem to fit
my need but both require closing of the current display. 

Any pointer will be appreciated.

That's rumored to be a feature of GNU Emacs version 19.  Unipress has
multiple windows now for NeWS and perhaps for X. Once the hooks are in
version 19, similar multi-window support for other window systems
should follow soon.
