The standard ClearCase term for what you're describing is "view" (executing a "setview" command spawns a new shell using the desired view context, affecting which files you see). If you call them "tasks" I suspect that it is a local term. I also guess that you're working in Unix, because CC in Windows handles views in a rather different way. If you want to read files in another view, you can still do that using the normal ways (by specifying a complete path to that view/version). If you want to cheat, you can also modify the config spec for your current view so that the file you want to view/modify will become visible in your current view. However, if you want to check in/out files in another view, I imagine that your original guess is correct: because the other view exists in another process, you'll just have to start a new emacs from that other shell. At least that's what I always did when I was using emacs with CC. --scott -- Notebook on music and airports: http://two-wugs.net/scott/
