Hi ...
   Is there any way to have split a buffer to get the following
effects (either would be nice)...

Original config...
	------------------------------------------------------
	|                                                    |
	|        Buffer No. 1                                |
	------------------------------------------------------
	|                                                    |
	|        Buffer No. 2                                |
	------------------------------------------------------
(switch-to-buffer "Buffer No. 2")
(split-window (selected-window))
(pop-to-buffer "Buffer No. 3")   *** I am not sure this is the right
				     command ***
.... so we now have  ...
	------------------------------------------------------
	|                                                    |
	|        Buffer No. 1                                |
	------------------------------------------------------
	|        Buffer No. 2                                |
	------------------------------------------------------
	|        Buffer No. 3                                |
	------------------------------------------------------
(delete-window)   ****Buffer No. 3****
...and *return* to the orig configuration.

  Basicly I want to only modify the current buffer/window (if possible)
when I do a split.   The reason I want this is that I have elisp code
that needs to know the where the point last was when it was outside of
Buffer No. 3.   Plus it would be nice to split a window... and then
get the same sized windows as when I started.   does anyone know of
anyway to do this is GnuEmacs 18.49?

					Thanks...
