Mode Line Mouse Commands
========================

   You can use mouse clicks on window mode lines to select and
manipulate windows.

`Mouse-1'
     `Mouse-1' on a mode line selects the window above.  By dragging
     `Mouse-1' on the mode line, you can move it, thus changing the
     height of the windows above and below.

`Mouse-2'
     `Mouse-2' on a mode line expands that window to fill its frame.

`Mouse-3'
     `Mouse-3' on a mode line deletes the window above.  If the frame
     has only one window, it buries the current buffer instead and
     switches to another buffer.

`C-Mouse-2'
     `C-Mouse-2' on a mode line splits the window above horizontally,
     above the place in the mode line where you click.

   `C-Mouse-2' on a scroll bar splits the corresponding window
vertically, unless you are using an X toolkit's implementation of
scroll bars.  Note: Split Window.

   The commands above apply to areas of the mode line which do not have
special mouse bindings of their own.  Some areas, such as the buffer
name and the major mode name, have their own special mouse bindings.
Emacs displays information about these bindings when you hold the mouse
over such a place (Note: Tooltips).
