The &, -n, and server-start aren't strictly necessary. Here's one
alternative:
$ emacs --daemon
$ emacsclient a.html
$ emacsclient b.html
$ emacsclient c.html
And here's another:
$ export ALTERNATE_EDITOR=
$ emacsclient a.html
$ emacsclient b.html
$ emacsclient c.html
It's not clear to me exactly what it is you're asking for, though. What
is the "new way" you refer to? Can you please elaborate?
Thanks,
