Re: Zoom on a buffer

[Chuck Siska]

to restore the window layout in your emacs frame, you can run
M-x desktop-frame-save first, and then after you're finished
with the maximized version you can do a M-x desktop-read followed
by a M-x load-file emacs.frx.

also, a frame (an m$windows window) is what contains emacs windows 
(these look like window panes) and any emacs buffer can be displayed 
in any emacs  window (pane).  also killing an emacs buffer doesn't
touch the file which was copied into that buffer.  emacs deals with
frames, windows, buffers, and files separately so that you have
a bit more control over things if you want.  cheers.
