There are several functions in x.fns for manipulating X windows, but I cannot find any examples of their use. Has anyone used functions x-create-x-window or x-pop-up-window? Has anyone written GNU Emacs Lisp code that creates new X windows? Mark A. Ardis Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (412) 268-7636 maa@sei.cmu.edu

They aren't user functions and should not be used (they are actually
disabled after the window comes up). They are the (obsolete, says I)
way of creating the initial window. I hacked V18 to do this from C,
so these functions should be removed.
RMS has rewritten the X interface to handle multiple windows;
presumably the interface he chose is not identical to the one under
discussion.
