Then I've been able to start emacsclient with emacsclient -c -n, and got a new empty window to use as I please. Sometime in the not too distant past, this changed. If I run emacsclient -c -n, a window opens, then closes immediately. Have I missed a note in "what's new" somewhere about changed functionality? Or has my memory totally gone belly up? Now I've been using emacsclient -c to get a window to open, and do what I want, but that still leaves the terminal locked.
