Indeed! The NS code addition also provide support for DnD (Drag&Drop), in which a new frame is created. Emacsclient accepts the -c option by which the server is advised to create a new frame, and - nw to open the window here in this terminal emulation. Are you making your tests without any customisation? (/Applications/ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/Emacs -Q &) Could be this customisation causes the behaviour you see... (My self-compiled Emacs.app, Tiger PPC, does *not* create a new frame when I invoke emacsclient, but I prefer to work with at least one frame. All the time.) -- Greetings Pete Theory and practice are the same, in theory, but, in practice, they are different.
