If you want to edit a file in a new frame other than the primary Emacs frame, you could use the following syntax: $ emacsclient -n -e "(find-file-other-frame \"~/_emacs\")" The stuff between \"...\" could be a command line variable if you set is as a SHELL alias (or doskey macro). The above command creates a new frame and opens the file in the new frame. The command line does not wait till you complete the editing and closing of the file. -dky -- Dhruva Krishnamurthy Contents reflect my personal views only!
