Re: Delete Help Window - restore window config

[Tory S. Anderson]

is this not just the kind of thing "Winner mode" is made for? e.g. I can have a 
complex 4-window setup with side-by-side code comparison, directory listing, 
and my to-do list; I pull up GNUs and it's all demolished; I use 'winner-undo' 
and my complex 4-frame arrangement is all back, including viewing the same 
buffers. 

AFAIK, it meets your compatibility criteria. 

In my init: 
    (winner-mode 1)

Of course, further customizations are possible.
