Yes, I think that the -c argument should be reversed from "--current-frame" to "--create-frame". This will bring back the default behavior to (more or less) what it was in Emacs-22.1. The other thing that would be nice to change is to turn -t into -nw, but that's more difficult because currently emacsclient treats "-nw" as "-n -w" and its option-parsing code doesn't know how to deal with "-nw" otherwise. As a first step we can change --tty to --no-window-system, tho. Stefan
