If not, would it be possible to simply send an external application (again like firefox) a command from within emacs without it being embedded. For example, say I was working on an HTML page in emacs and wanted to preview my changes by refreshing the page in firefox. I would just like to be able to say something like M-x refresh-firefox, and not have to click over to the firefox window to his refresh myself. What would be required to add this feature?
