No tip on how to see Info page "(emacs)Emacs Server" BTW, I wanted to do $ emacsclient a001\* to get a dired listing of matching files matching a001* ... but no, no can do. Therefore I propose $ emacsclient -d filenames $ emacsclient --dired filenames do like (dired "a001*" nil) Also, * or would work, no need for \* ... By the way, is there a need for $ dired [filenames] as one can't just use emacs -f dired filenames to get emacs to take the arg list as filenames for dired... hmm, better yet: emacs --dired filenames Yes, I can do $ emacs dir1 dir2 dir3 but what if I want $ emacs file1 file2 file3 but in one dired window? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
