I don't like auto-raise, so I set the variable auto-raise-screen to nil in my .emacs file. On the other hand, I would like to have find-file-other-screen, which is what I normally use to popup new or old screens with files in them, automatically raise the screen with the file I named in it. Right now, with auto-raise-screen nil, if there is already a screen with that file in it, the mouse is warped to be over the screen, but the screen is not raised. If the screen is covered, this can be less than helpful, in fact rather confusing. I typically keep many screens around, so this is important to efficiently dealing with my display. I tried installing a new focus handler which looks at a different variable, so there would be separate focus and lisp-code-invoked raise policies. This seemed to have no effect on the operation of either the focus events or the lisp code. I really don't have time just now to get deeply into the screen-handling code in epoch.el. If anyone out there can give me a pointer to how to deal with this, I'd appreciate it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Speaker-to-managers, aka Bruce Cohen, Computer Research Lab email: brucec@crl.labs.tek.com Tektronix Laboratories, Tektronix, Inc. phone: (503)627-5241 M/S 50-662, P.O.
