GNU emacs 18.54.2 of Thu May 4 1989 on quonset (hpux) X10 if it matters. 1) start emacs 2) ^X2 - split-window-vertically 3) ^X2 - split-window-vertically 4) ^Xo - other-window 5) ^Xo - other-window 6) ^X2 - split-window-vertically ; resulting in 4 ~= windows 7) M-xrmail - rmail 8) h - rmail summary 9) ^Xo 10) ^Xo - to get to RMAIL window 11) iareaspec.box - to get to another mailbox 12) h - summary on that one also 13) ^Xb in various blank windows until all 4 buffers are displayed 14) ^Xo - to get to summary window 15) p - move to previous message, worked fine 16) SPC - to see second page of message the SPC scrolled the other summary window, not the rmail window that the 'p' had changed. I tried this several times, it was consistant in that 'n' and 'p' seemed to work fine, but the window scrolled by the SPC varied. The manual (section 26.8.2 - Editing in Summaries) says something about "...(presumably Rmail)..." when describing SPC. Since it is documented correctly, maybe it is feature. Is there a valid reason for this to occur? Since 'n' and 'p' know which window to go to, is it not reasonable to have SPC (and DEL) do the same? Anyone else run across this behavior and/or fix(IMHO) it? Steven S. Smith Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp. INTERNET steve@cfht.hawaii.edu
