Use (server-start) in the Emacs process, and "emacsclient" from the shell.

I vaguely remember that somebody posted something like this for
tcsh.  Maybe it was called tcsh-completion.el.  But it was many years
ago, so I don't remember.

piping

[Joe Corneli]

Hello --

does anyone know if it is possible to pipe a file to a running XEmacs 
and have
the file open in a new buffer?  This might be more of a shell question 
than
an emacs question, but I don't know the protocol and am curious.

Thanks,

Joe Corneli

PS.  This is for those times when I can't type C-x C-f from within 
XEmacs...
