(Basic Windows): A window has fringe settings, display margins and scroll-bar settings. (Splitting Windows): Doc split-window return value. Clean up one-window-p. (Selecting Windows): Fix typo. (Cyclic Window Ordering): Explain frame as ALL-FRAMES in next-window. (Buffers and Windows): In set-window-buffer, explain effect on fringe settings and scroll bar settings. (Displaying Buffers): In pop-to-buffer, explain nil as buffer arg. (Choosing Window): Use defopt for pop-up-frame-function. For special-display-buffer-names, explain same-window and same-frame. Clarify window-dedicated-p return value. (Textual Scrolling): scroll-up and scroll-down can get an error. (Horizontal Scrolling): Clarify auto-hscroll-mode. Clarify set-window-hscroll. (Size of Window): Don't mention tool bar in window-height. (Coordinates and Windows): Explain what coordinates-in-window-p returns for fringes and display margins. (Window Configurations): Explain saving fringes, etc.
