If that's all you want to do, then "(if pop-up-frames" is (trivially) the only answer. But I'm pretty sure that's not the answer you're looking for because I'm pretty sure that "test if pop-up-frames is non-nil" was *not* the intention behind the code. Now, it might be true that the coder doesn't know his own intention. It's a common problem. Stefan
