Oh, no, I agree -- that's why I tend toward vi in those
situations. However, over the weekend I've been playing with
gnuserv/gnuclient in XEmacs, and I'm getting towards liking it.

Okay, that could work -- but I'm too forgetful to remember if there's
already an XEmacs process running -- anybody have a shell script that
will execute the following pseudocode?

        if there's an XEmacs process running
                `gnuclient -q $1`
        else
                `xemacs -nw $1`

Hmm -- I guess all I really need is the flag to test for a running
process by name -- any help?

thanks,
john.
