Working with several frames

[Eduardo Ochs]

Hi Erich,

Can we move the discussion of your problem to the mailing list?

I think that the best way to solve your problem is to use frames
with user-chosen titles, and to extend find-wset to make it also
handle frames... then it will be very easy to define functions
that select a frame with a certain title, or create a frame with
that title if needed, and display the right files and buffers in
it. The code below is _almost_ what we need to implement that,
but the last two `find-wset's don't work as expected - I need
something stronger than `select-frame-set-input-focus', but what?

Can you check if everything below makes sense to you?
  Cheers,
    Eduardo...
