Re: If arg, open in new frame

[Tory S. Anderson]

Almost perfect! Thanks! One case is missed in your code: if buffer does not yet 
exist, it cannot be opened in a new frame. I tried this to no avail: 

(defun go-or-make-agenda (&optional new-frame)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((buffer "\*Org Agenda\*"))
    (if (get-buffer buffer)
        (if new-frame
            (switch-to-buffer-other-frame buffer)
          (switch-to-buffer buffer))
      (if new-frame
          (switch-to-buffer-other-frame org-agenda-list) ;; not a buffer
        (org-agenda-list)))))

With all this switch-to-buffer redundancy, what I'd REALLY like to do is 
conditionally bind the function to a variable based on (if new-frame) but I'll 
make that a new thread. 

So now,  How can I run org-agenda-list in a new frame if buffer does not exist? 

Thanks
