   I couldn't find a answer to this question in FAQ.

   How do I get epoch-4.0 to set the title name and the icon name to
   the name of the current buffer, automatically? Is there a way to do
   this without redefining functions such as switch-to-buffer.

   Regards, Katrin.

From the latest version of the FAQ:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--> How do I make Epoch manage edit window and icon names based on the
name of the current buffer(s)?

The base Epoch distribution doesn't support this, but there have been
a number of small packages written that accomplish this.  The one
Yours Truly uses was written by Derek Ney (derek@boingo.med.jhu.edu)
and is up for anonymous FTP at ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (141.142.20.50) as
/outgoing/marca/derek-title.el.Z.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This package doesn't refine switch-to-buffer (uses a hook whose name I
forget instead).

Hope this helps,
Marc
