This is not an implementation detail. It's just the name that the Emacs developers picked. There is a data structure which represents this idea of a buffer underneath. It's a slightly unfortunate name, as it's unusual, but better that window which is usual but means something else. But what you see is history poking through, not implementation detail. If Emacs were written now, these things would have different names. It's a price you pay with using emacs. The benefit is that Emacs is that its not constantly changing, and it gives you some stability over the years. I like latex, for instance, for the same reason. I can still access a 10 year old document and use it. Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
