***FLAME ON***
In Unipress 2.10, they use a Bogus system of transient/typeout windows.  For
example you do an:  apropos "buf"  and they throw up this 'More' mode like
window that you must page through or recursive edit.  Try to invoke any
non-More-mode key and it deletes the help buffer.  So much for trying to
be a modeless editor!

What ever happened to the old days of plopping a help buffer on your screen
and allowing you to play with it?  Why can't they just leave the information
around and allow me to edit/scan/delete it in my own time and my own way?  
Why didn't the Unipress folks allow you to disable this BOGUS mode?
***FLAME OFF***

I looked for a simple or semi-simple way to yank this garbage and didn't find
a way offhand.  Many packages in Unipress use the 'use-transient-window', 
'use-typeout-window' and 'edit-in-transient-window' garbage.  Any clues as
to how I can disable this bogusness?
