shell vs X, reprise

shell vs X, reprise

[ryan]

Hi,

Can I run an emacs frame in an xterm as well as in a normal X window
frame using the same emacs session?  For instance, I start emacs in X
and want a frame to run in an xterm OR I start 'emacs -nw' in an xterm
and want to get an X frame as well.

I found a similar question in the archives but the solution would keep
the frames in an xterm.  I want a frame in the xterm and as its own
window.

Thanks for any help.

No, Emacs does not currently support this feature.
You're welcome to help implement it, tho.
