I have a few Epoch questions that I've been saving up. We're using Epoch 3.2 on Sun 3s and Sun 4s. * I have been using the `set-window-buffer-hook' to keep the X window names in sync with the buffer currently displayed in the screen. I haven't had any problems with this, but a comment in the source calls it "undocumented" and "dangerous". Is there a better way to accomplish this without using the `set-window-buffer-hook' (or rebinding every command that could possibly change the buffer being displayed in a screen)? * Has anyone experimented with or even thought about what would be involved in supporting "cut and paste" for buttons. That is, allowing a region with buttons to killed, and then restoring the buttons when it's yanked into another location. * If I make a selection using the mouse, then move the cursor forward a few positions with C-f, mouse events seem to be blocked until I do a C-n or C-b to get the cursor out of the selection. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? * Is there anyway to disable the mouse, while I'm prompting the user for a response in the minibuffer? Right now, it seems that a mouse click on a screen makes Epoch forget about the read-string function that is executing. * Is there a simple way to setup a screen so that only the buffer originally passed to create-screen can be displayed in it (with exceptions for *Help*, etc.) In other words, I want to tie a screen and a buffer together until the screen is removed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -Mike Sennett sennett@vistatech.com
