That's what make-frame-on-display is for. I leave a running Emacs at home (displaying in Xvfb under screen, so it survives any X crash), and use this script when ssh'ing remotely into my box (X11 forwarding enabled): #!/bin/sh gnuclient -eval "(make-frame-on-display \"$1\")" So everywhere I can use an X server and ssh, I can work on my (already open or not) buffers on *as many frames* as I need (C-x 5 2 does the trick :-). Then I close the frames, and the buffers are still alive when I get home again. This even works for "collaborative editing", without restorting to screen and under X. -- Cristian Gutierrez http://www.dcc.uchile.cl/~crgutier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] `The purpose of a windowing system is to put some amusing fluff around your one almighty emacs window.' -- Mark on gnu.emacs.help -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
