[slime-devel] Dismissing temp buffers

[Walter GR]

I realized I confused "window" and "frame" in my message.  Good job on 
deciphering what I meant.  :)

Restoring the full window config would be done by Emacs (and not SLIME,) 
right?

Thanks, I hadn't found that setting.  It does work as advertised.  That 
makes the situation more tolerable, but I think I'll give up trying to 
get Emacs to respect my window configuration.  I'll just have 1 frame 
for editing and 1 for the REPL.

Thanks for your help,
