-Q3.0.5: How to check if a lisp function is defined?
----------------------------------------------------
-
- Use the following elisp:
-
- (fboundp 'foo)
-
- It's almost always a mistake to test `emacs-version' or any similar
-variables.
-
- Instead, use feature-tests, such as `featurep', `boundp', `fboundp',
-or even simple behavioral tests, eg.:
-
- (defvar foo-old-losing-code-p
- (condition-case nil (progn (losing-code t) nil)
- (wrong-number-of-arguments t)))
-
- There is an incredible amount of broken code out there which could
-work much better more often in more places if it did the above instead
-of trying to divine its environment from the value of one variable.

-Q3.0.6: Can I force the output of `(face-list)' to a buffer?
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
- It would be good having it in a buffer, as the output of
-`(face-list)' is too wide to fit to a minibuffer.
-
- Evaluate the expression in the `*scratch*' buffer with point after
-the rightmost paren and typing `C-j'.
-
- If the minibuffer smallness is the only problem you encounter, you
-can simply press `C-h l' to get the former minibuffer contents in a
-buffer.

-Q3.0.7: Font selections in don't get saved after `Save Options'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- For XEmacs 19.14 and previous:
-
- John Mann <mannj@ll.mit.edu> writes:
-
- You have to go to Options->Frame Appearance and unselect
- `Frame-Local Font Menu'. If this option is selected, font changes
- are only applied to the _current_ frame and do _not_ get saved
- when you save options.
-
- For XEmacs 19.15 and later:
-
- Implement the above as well as set the following in your `.emacs'
-
- (setq options-save-faces t)

-Q3.0.8: How do I get a single minibuffer frame?
------------------------------------------------

- Vin Shelton <acs@acm.org> writes:

- *Please note:* The single minibuffer frame may not be to everyone's
-taste, and there any number of other XEmacs options settings that may
-make it difficult or inconvenient to use.

-Q3.0.9: What is `Customize'?
-----------------------------
-
- Starting with XEmacs 20.2 there is new system 'Customize' for
-customizing XEmacs options.
-
- You can access `Customize' from the `Options' menu or invoking one
-of customize commands by typing eg. `M-x customize', `M-x
-customize-face', `M-x customize-variable' or `M-x customize-apropos'.
-
- Starting with XEmacs 20.3 there is also new `browser' mode for
-Customize. Try it out with `M-x customize-browse'

-3.1: X Window System & Resources
-================================
-
-Q3.1.1: Where is a list of X resources?
----------------------------------------
-
- Search through the `NEWS' file for `X Resources'. A fairly
-comprehensive list is given after it.
-
- In addition, an `app-defaults' file is supplied, `etc/Emacs.ad'
-listing the defaults. The file `etc/sample.Xdefaults' gives a set of
-defaults that you might consider. It is essentially the same as
-`etc/Emacs.ad' but some entries are slightly altered. Be careful about
-installing the contents of this file into your `.Xdefaults' or
-`.Xresources' file if you use GNU Emacs under X11 as well.

-Q3.1.2: How can I detect a color display?

-
- (when (eq (device-class) 'color)
- (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "Grey")
- (set-face-foreground 'font-lock-string-face "Red")

-Q3.1.5: How can I get the icon to just say `XEmacs'?
-----------------------------------------------------
-
- I'd like the icon to just say `XEmacs', and not include the name of
-the current file in it.
-
- Add the following line to your `.emacs':
-
- (setq frame-icon-title-format "XEmacs")

-Q3.1.6: How can I have the window title area display the full path?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I'd like to have the window title area display the full
-directory/name of the current buffer file and not just the name.
-
- Add the following line to your `.emacs':
-
- (setq frame-title-format "%S: %f")
-
- A more sophisticated title might be:
-
- (setq frame-title-format
- '("%S: " (buffer-file-name "%f"
- (dired-directory dired-directory "%b"))))
-
- That is, use the file name, or the dired-directory, or the buffer
-name.
