Using emacsclient is pretty new to me -- and you seem to
be playing some nice tricks with it.
Please, could you elaborate a bit (or better, much more) on:
. the above that you wrote.
. your varied uses (and those of others you've seen or
heard of) of emacsclient (and other things like it).
. You used the term "server". What with the original
emacs-run throwing off emacs-clients that seem to
be NOT independent from each other -- sharing buffers,
etc. For vocabulary-creation, would that make it into
some kind of subtype of "server"? (Obvious to all: am
pretty ignorant about servers, clients, etc, which is
why I'm probing, to learn more.)
. Anything else you want to say. (With the idea that
maybe RMS could munge it into extra doc for the manual
or tutorial or something?)
THANKS!
David
