It is only a good solution to run one emacs and multiple clients if you don't ever run anything that ties emacs up. If emacs is doing something or waiting for a process to complete, you often cannot work on any other buffers under that instance of emacs. I don't like not being able to update my calendar because gnus is checking my mail, for example. > Another advantage is that you can not by mistake open a file twice. This is a disadvantage, but a minor one to me. I segregate tasks under different instances of emacs, so it doesn't happen much. Brian
