As an end user, would it still be possible to specify easily whether one wants to a) reuse an existing frame (which is something I do not often want -- existing frame is usually detached behind screen or sitting on another window manager pane) b) Pop up one frame per emacsclient invocation and work through files one at a time in that frame (using C-x #), with the frame being removed when all files are done) -- this is my preferred mode of operation c) have one frame pop up per file (That could be nice, for a few files). I can get b) from current emacsclient; I used to get c) from gnuclient, and the old emacsclient used to give me a). manoj -- What is irritating about love is that it is a crime that requires an accomplice.
