Is it possible to launch the editor in the background using this mechanism? This is an important feature of the emacs.bash script: if the editor isn't launched in the background then the shell is blocked until the editor exits. And on the other hand, we don't want to launch emacsclient itself in the background because otherwise the user isn't notified that she hasn't closed the server buffer(s) in Emacs. -- Romain Francoise | The sea! the sea! the open it's a miracle -- http://orebokech.com/ | sea!
