Look at the option server-window in Emacs. (I am > surprised it is not mentioned.) Does that help you? 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.
