Several times in the last years people have asked, if it is possible to use gnuclient inside an ordinary terminal resulting in an Emacs session for the terminal. The answer was that XEmacs can and GNU Emacs can't. Has this changed with Emacs 21? Nicolas. P.S.: I tried it on my Debian system. Here, gnuclient can open X frames if the DISPLAY variable is set, but when I call it from a console without DISPLAY set then I get the error message error in process filter: Wrong number of arguments: #[(&optional tty terminal-type) "ÂÀÁ D#‡" [tty terminal-type make-device] 5 "Create a new device on TTY. TTY should be the name of a tty device file (e.g. \"/dev/ttyp3\" under SunOS et al.), as returned by the `tty' command. A value of nil means use the stdin and stdout as passed to XEmacs from the shell. If TERMINAL-TYPE is non-nil, it should be a string specifying the type of the terminal attached to the specified tty. If it is nil, the terminal type will be inferred from the TERM environment variable."],
