Are you looking for 'emacsclient -n'? There is a problem when you have multiple frames, though: How do you decide in which frame the visited file will be displayed? Is it possible to specify that when starting emacsclient? --- I usually have at least two frames for different purposes, and using emacsclient to visit a file or to create an email usually doesn`t put the file/email into the frame I`d like to have it in. -- Knowledge is volatile and fluid.
