Thanks for the encouragement.  I've implemented it, but not as I
thought.  The idea of rotating the frame list was a bad one, since it
breaks simple things, like moving through frames with `C-x 5 o'

Congratulations and praise go to you and Ben on an excellent job on
abstracting the redisplay and devices.  I probably did it faster than
RMS. >;->>

Does anyone have any preferences as to what multiple frames on a TTY
should look like?  This is the way I've done it:

(raise-frame FRAME) and (select-frame FRAME) do the same thing,
i.e. make the frame visible and select it.


A question:

FSF Emacs prints the nice `Emacs-%d' string to modeline
identification.  I've implemented it being appended to the buffer
name, but I don't know how to glue it to XEmacs string in the
modeline.  What I need is something like:

(set-specifier (cdar modeline-buffer-identification)
               string
               (selected-frame))

only (cdar modeline-buffer-identification) is not a specifier, and I
need to do it in C, not Lisp.  Specifier gurus?  Modeline gurus?
Kyle?
