Allow me a few comments. On the "-c" option: > [...] Emacs can create a graphical frame even if it was started in a > text-only terminal, provided it is able to connect to a graphical > display, and provided it can create graphical frames when started > from a text-only terminal. Isn't this wording a bit awkward? "Emacs can do X, provided it is able to do Y, and provided it can do X" On the "-t" option: > Create a new Emacs frame on the current text-only terminal, instead > of using an existing Emacs frame. If Emacs can open a text-only > terminal even if it was started in another text-only terminal, or on > a graphical display, it will create a text-only frame on the current > terminal. That is, "Do X instead of Y. If Emacs can do X even if Z, it will do X.". Not much clean, IMHO. > Otherwise(2), it will create a new frame, either GUI or text-only, > on the same terminal where Emacs was started. Here the last part ("on the same terminal where...") gives the impression that the new frame will be created on a terminal, regardless of whether it is GUI or text-only. Also, in the case that the new frame is text-only, it's not clear whether the frame will be created in the current terminal one or in the server one. -- Dani Moncayo
