Hi Kevin,
Perhaps I've not been specific enough. What I mean is when I'm using
the console and not logged into the Xwindows system I don't understand
how to use the emacs-client. It works great if I'm logged into X, but
when I'm in the console I reply to a mail from mutt and I get a
message, waiting for emacs.. but then I can't switch consoles to get
to it. If I start emacs first, then suspend it to open mutt, it
doesn't appear when I need it to write a mail. What am I not doing
right here? Is there something I need to do to establish a 2nd
console?
Thanks
Dale
