They aren't user functions and should not be used (they are actually
disabled after the window comes up).  They are the (obsolete, says I)
way of creating the initial window.  I hacked V18 to do this from C,
so these functions should be removed.

RMS has rewritten the X interface to handle multiple windows;
presumably the interface he chose is not identical to the one under
discussion.
