> 1. emacs -Q

> 3. C-x b *Messages* RET
>    Now the first tab should have only *scratch* open,
>    and the second tab should have only *Messages* open,

> 4. M-: (read-from-minibuffer "") RET
> 5. While in minibuffer, C-x t o to switch to the first tab
> 6. RET to exit minibuffer
> 7. The first tab now has *Messages* open.
