Hello,

What follows is a repost of an email I sent to the
list last month.  It's still an issue for me and I
really wish I could figure out how to solve it. 
Essentially I'm just trying to figure out how to get
the jdb command window to stay anchored and always
visible.  The behavior I'd like is that the frame is
split horizontally with the jdb command buffer on top
and the current source buffer on the bottom.  When I
issue a step command which cuases control to be passed
to a different source file I'd like the new source
file to replace the current source file and *not* the
jdb command buffer.  The environment is native emacs
21.3.1 on Win2k and jde 2.3.5.1.  If anyone could help
me out here, I'd really apprciate it.  Thanks in
advance.

// REPOST
I've recently begun using the jdee interface to jdb
for debugging.  I'm having pretty good success though
there is one issue I'm having trouble with.  This can
probably just be chalked up to my (relative) lack of
experience with emacs but, in any event, the issue is
this:  After I've launched jdb from the JDE menu, I
end up with the frame split horizontally into two
buffers.  The top half contains the jdb buffer and the
bottom one contains the source file with my main
function.  From the jdb buffer I issue 'cont' and the
cursor in the source runs to the breakpoint I've got
set in the main method.  So far so good.  The problem
occurs when I step into source located in another
file.  The new source file replaces the debug buffer
rather than the other source buffer.  This happens
everytime I step into a method in a different soruce
file.  The result is that I'm constantly issuing 'C-x
o C-x b' to return things to the way I want them.  I
guess that this is all a long winded way of asking: Is
there some setting I can make which will assure that
the jdb window will always be visible?  How do other
people handle this?  Am I doing something really dumb?
 Thanks in advance, for any thoughts.
