The point of using emacsclient is exactly that you open the file in the emacs process that is already up and running. However, what you maybe missed is that you need to start the corresponding server in emacs. I have the following in my .emacs file:
;; ;; Start the emacs server, so we can use emacsclient ;; (server-start)

I finally decided to see if I could get point-and-click really working. After reading the instructions in Appendix D I discovered that I did not fully understand them:
Make sure that the environment variable XEDITOR is set to
emacsclient --no-wait +%l %f
I did not fully understand this at first. A friend who understands Linux better than I helped me out with this one. This needed to be in my ~/.bashrc file.
But I was getting errors. If I have this 'emacsclient' line in my ~/.bashrc file I get:
Xdvi Error Error executing: emacsclient --no-wait %l %f (I get real line numbers, of course) /path/to/file.ly
If, however, I use this line instead:
export XEDITOR="emacs +%l %f"
...it works. I can even use
export XEDITOR="emacs +%l:%c %f"
...and get the cursor to land in the correct column (Emacs 21.2.1).
But, each time I do point-and-click I get a new instance of Emacs. Is this correct? If so, it seems a bit awkward.
Any clarifications welcome.
