Well, either you don't understand me correctly, or else the menus and
documentation (which I did read) are designed for those smarter or more
patient than I. As far as I can see, _none_ of what I described is
available.
In particular, it appears that you _always_ need a control frame/window,
and that ediff commands _only_ work in the control frame/window (even if
I type `M-x ediff-next-difference' in one of the buffers being diffed,
it just gives me an error saying that).

Of course. It shows lots of handy commands -- but `how to find ediff
commands' wasn't what I was complaining about.

It sounds like the best thing to do is have all ediff state contained
in a lisp value, which is pointed to by whatever buffers, but
presumably this would be a big change to the code.
