I've just started looking at Epoch 4.0, and I have a couple of
questions...
o In 3.2 there is a contrib file, contrib/anonymous/minibuf.el,
containing code which causes the minbuffer screen to attach
itself to whichever edit screen has input focus. This file isn't
in 4.0, and the 3.2 version doesn't seem to work in 4.0.
Has this been ported to 4.0?
o Is there a way to find out the display if it is specified on the
command line (e.g. -display needle:0)? If I invoke epoch thusly:
epoch -display needle:0 -nm -q
evaluating `command-line-args' gives me:
("epoch" "-q")
The -display and the -nm have been stripped. I realize an alternative
is to set $DISPLAY and (getenv "DISPLAY"); I'm curious if it's possible
to use -display and find out the display.
By the way, my environment is a Sparc 2 running SunOS 4.1.1,
OpenWindows 3.0 and olvwm 3.1.
I apologize if these are RTFM types of questions, but I RTFM and I
still don't know the answers.
Thank you for your help.
