All I wanted to do was make the compilation-mode-hook the sole visible buffer.
(setq
 compilation-mode-hook
 (function
  (lambda ()
    (delete-other-windows);doesn't work, so try:
;   (enlarge-window 111);window-resize: Cannot resize the root window of a frame
    )))

Please don't tell me about frames again.
All I want to do is make this work.
