Hello,
the docstring of `display-buffer' mentions certain "alists" in several
places, but doesn't say at all how they must look like and what an
effect they have.
Also most of the docstrings of the variables mentioned there
don't explain their purpose, like `display-buffer-alist':
ACTION is a cons cell (FUNCTION . ALIST), where FUNCTION is a
function or a list of functions. Each such function should
accept two arguments: a buffer to display and an alist of the
same form as ALIST. See `display-buffer' for details.
It's all quite cyclic.
Michael.
