The manual for some reason is focused on unix: "As an alternative to using `emacsclient', the file `etc/emacs.bash' defines a Bash command `edit' which will communicate with a running Emacs session, or start one if none exist." Afaics this is similar to what Lennart does for w32, but I may be wrong. To me this indicates that there might be a reason for making something easier for windows people, too. In my experience emacsW32 is a very nice customization for my use of emacs and it is easier for me to make our students get going with emacs. -- Brian (remove the sport for mail) http://www.et.web.mek.dtu.dk/Staff/be/be.html http://www.rugbyklubben-speed.dk
