Is that what Juri meant, or did he mean a single `display-buffer' for
each display action?  Currently, Calc uses `split-window' to set up 
*Calculator* and then a separate `split-window' to split the
*Calculator* window and use the new window for *Calc Trail* (or the
keypad).   Is the suggestion to replace both of these with a single
`display-buffer' or each `split-window' with a `display-buffer'?
