Hi,

Your solution to the delete-window button is a nice one.  I think you
should be able to get rid of the "beep" function there, although I can't
remember how to send a "do nothing" command.  The man pages will be
helpful here.  Anyway, your way _is_ the right way to change this
behaviour.

I'm not certain I understand the second problem.  Sorry.
