Not sure if I understand you correctly... If you want to edit a file
in a new frame other than the primary Emacs frame, you could use the
following syntax:
$ emacsclient -n -e "(find-file-other-frame \"~/_emacs\")"
The stuff between \"...\" could be a command line variable if you set
is as a SHELL alias (or doskey macro).
The above command creates a new frame and opens the file in the new
frame. The command line does not wait till you complete the editing
and closing of the file.
