OTOH, some users have strange expectations; they expect > the exact opposite from what I would :-) The scenario I had in mind was that (1) `display-buffer' reuses a window as a help-window (2) in that window the user manually switches to a buffer via `switch-to-buffer' and (3) `display-buffer' again reuses that window as a help-window. Typing `q' in that window now will restore the buffer shown before (1) and not the buffer shown by (2). In this scenario the `switch-to-buffer' hardly counts as a "temporary excursion". martin
