RE: [h-e-w] gnuserv problem

[Eli Daniel]

Just to clarify, I assume you're invoking gnuclient (or gnuclientw) to open
the file on the command line, not gnuserv, right?

I get just the behavior it sounds like you want (though mine is configured
to open everything in a singe frame instead of opening new ones).  The only
gnuserv-related configuration I have is this:

(setenv "GNUSERV_SHOW_EMACS" "1")
(require 'gnuserv)
(setq gnuserv-frame (selected-frame))
(gnuserv-start)
