Manual - Window Type Go to the first , previous , next , last section, table of contents . Window Type A window describes the portion of the frame that XEmacs uses to display a buffer.
Every window has one associated buffer, whose contents appear in the window.
By contrast, a given buffer may appear in one window, no window, or several windows. Though many windows may exist simultaneously, at any time one window is designated the selected window . The selected window usually displays the current buffer, but this is not necessarily the case. See section Frame Type . Windows have no read syntax.
