When the display variable is set correctly, any emacs process that I launch still goes to the same xwin window. I think it has something to do with multiple window support in xwin, and I'm not sure how to turn it on.-----Original Message----- From: Andrew Braverman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 1:34 PM To: 'Samir Gupta'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Using Multiple X Windows Though I do not use emacs, I have used exceed. What I think is happening is that you are not correctly setting your DISPLAY variable. From what I am told, if you have no DISPLAY set, emacs starts as a standard app in the terminal it is in. If it is set, emacs starts as an X app. Exceed sets this variable when it starts up the first window. From what I can tell, xfree does not. What happens if you set an appropriate DISPLAY and then run emacs& ?-----Original Message----- From: Samir Gupta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2003 12:50 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Using Multiple X Windows Hello, I have a question which I could not find the answer to in searching the archives... I am trying to make window management in cygwin/xfree the same way I have it set up in exceed. I start up tcsh in exceed with my xterm command which opens up an x window with the tcsh prompt. From this prompt, every time I type "emacs &", it will bring up a new xwindow with the emacs program. I cannot figure out how to do this in cygwin/xfree. From my tcsh prompt, I type "xwin" to start the xfree window. Now, every time I type "emacs &", it opens up an emacs in the same xfree window. I am wondering how I can get it to open up a separate xfree window each time I type "emacs &" as I can in exceed? I tried messing around with the xwin -screen option, but I could not come up with anything... Thanks
