Hello,

It's very convenient and profitable. Thank you very much.
Please let me take it into GLOBAL by all means.

By the way, I have a question.

It seems that [GTAGS SELECT MODE] is always displayed
in current window. Is this behavior what you indended?

For example, in the GLOBAL source code,

(1) When the target is one.

(Invoke gtags-find-tag-other-window)

Find tag: strbuf_open           <- There is only one strbuf_open.

        => Emacs open a new window and display the result there.
           Great!

(2) When the target is two or more. 

(Invoke gtags-find-tag-other-window)

Find tag: main                  <- GLOBAL has 8 main.

        => display [GTAGS SELECT MODE] in CURRENT window

(Select a tag)

        => display the result in CURRENT window
           (???)

I think that gtags-find-tag-other-window should open a new window
for [GTAGS SELECT MODE].
What do you think?

P.S.
If possible, would you please use the cvs version of gtags.el?
The release version and the cvs version are a little different.
You can download it from here:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/global/global/gtags.el?revision=1.19
Thank you!
