Yep. It's: %emacs

Like in:

emacs -nw
^Z
ls
cd
%emacs


Otherwise, look what  you're asking: you have a  running emacs (where?
in a xterm? in a X window? on the console?). And then you want to have
it displays on your terminal!

Well, AFAIK, it's not possible if the emacs run on X window.

If  you have  emacs  running on  a terminal,  then  if you  ran it  on
screen(1) it  is possible to take  over a screen  session from another
terminal.  But it's more like %emacs than like emacsclient.

Yep, that's what Andreas is asking for.  XEmacs supports this, but
Emacs does not (yet).  I don't know of anyone currently working on
supporting this, but it's a pretty nifty feature so maybe someone
listening wants to work on it?  8^)
