Re: Suggestion: Make emacsclient act as a new frame

[Phillip Susi]

Yea, I don't want to open a new frame in X, I want the emacsclient to BE 
the new frame.  In other words, when I run crontab -e in an xterm I want 
to edit the crontab in that xterm, not tab to the emacs window while the 
xterm appears, for all intents and purposes, to be hung.
