No! :-) I have read quite a lot about emacsserver. (I got the "GNU Emacs 
manual" as a book and it covers version 22) I have searched and looked 
up the options but I don't get a grip of it. I found a option for 
emacsserver there I can set the variable "server-window" to a window or 
a frame. And it is by default set to "Use selected window" and it is 
possible to chose "Display in new frame", "Use pop-to-buffer" and "Other 
function". I suppose the last alternative could include some smart 
setting for the ones who knows lisp or what to do. But I don't.

But I'm not sitting here crying :-) I installed Gnuserv and it does what 
I want. But it should be fun to now how to do it without extra lisp 
packages, if it is possible with the included emacsserver.

Thanks for your interest in my question Lennart!

No, there was nothing about opening new buffers/files in the initial frame.
