What would you like > to accomplish with this option on Windows? I really do not have a very strong case. However, I would like to have emacs run as a service on M$. I can open frames and edit files, open frame to read mails and close it when done. Having emacs run as a service has unlimited uses. I could use it to run some remote commands (once I have it running on remote machines). If you have seen STAF (software test automation framework) to dispatch commands to remote machines, I would use emacs instead. It can become a highly customizable control center! -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
