  To: help-gnu-emacs

I use Explorer and other file manager programs (Directory Opus, 
Powerdesk) to browse directory trees in WinXP.  I have associated 
certain file types (e.g., *.r files) with gnuclientw.exe in Windows.  
When I click on an *.r file, gnuclientw starts up and opens a window, 
but the contents of the window are blank (or they show the last file I 
edited in emacs, if I didn't close it out before exiting emacs)---emacs 
doesn't show my the *.r file I clicked on, the way other editing 
programs for Windows will do if they are associated with that file type.  
How can I fix this?  It's tedious to have to start up gnuclientw.exe (or 
runemacs.exe), then use File | Open | etc. to browse down through the 
directory tree to the file's location and open it, or even just do Ctrl-
f and type in the whole path to visit the file in question.

Here is my .emacs file, which tries to start gnuserv.exe up so 
gnuclientw.exe and it are in client-server relationship.  Alas, the 
arrangement isn't working---gnuserv isn't showing up in Task Manager.  I 
am guessing this problem has something to do with my "file clicked on 
doesn't show up in emacs window" problem.

;; Getting new features into Emacs: load and autoload
;; Emacs gets built with a lot of default functionality for commonly 
;;    used functions and modes, but sometimes there is a need to 
;;    load in external Emacs LISP code to do special things; most of 
;;    this is handled automatically by Emacs such that you will only 
;;    see the messages from it when a new feature is being added.  
;;    You can add autoloads in your .emacs for features which Emacs 
;;    hasn't provided though, such as whist.el and wconfig.el in 
;;    ~gnu/emacs/local, as in the following examples
(autoload 'whist "whist" "Add history entries to a file" t)
(autoload 'wconfig-ring-save "wconfig" "Store the current window 
config." t)
 
;; Loading should be done only for functions which you intend to use
;;    every time you run Emacs; since additional features use more 
;;    memory, take more time for Emacs to start-up and can slow down 
;;    the overall performance of the machine which Emacs is being 
;;    run on (if lots of features were added), it is better to use 
;;    autoload.  The following are loaded directly because of 
;;    actions they take when loaded.
