I cannot get "emacsclientw -c" to work on windows XP.
I am using emacs-23.1
ALTERNATE_EDITOR = runemacs.exe
.emacs contains (server-start)
If emacs is not running, then using "emacsclientw -c" starts emacs as
expected.
If emacs is already running then nothing happens.
If I use the command "emacscilentw file" then file is opened in an
existing frame.
If I add "-c" nothing happens, the file is not opened.
If I add "-c -n" then the file is opened in an existing frame instead
of a new frame.
If I open up a windows command prompt and type "emacscilent -c" I get
the following error:
*ERROR*: Not using an ASCII terminal now; cannot make a new ASCII
frame
If however I use an xterm window (cygwin) to start the commands, then
both emacsclient and emacsclientw both work as expected. Note that
this is a normal windows installation of emacs, NOT a cygwin
installation.
Any ideas whats going on or how to fix this?
