This shows how flexible emacs is-- these Twenex style typeout windows were implemented using the normal windowing system in emacs. I like them much better than the normal type of pop-up help window, as most of the things for which they are used really *are* transient, and I don't want the information staying on my screen. In my opinion, Unipress has done a pretty good job of fixing bugs and making GosMacs more consistent and usable. The only thing I don't like is what they've done to the mail packages (and my complaints are simply cosmetic). -Miles
