Re: Reset Emacs state

[Johan Andersson]

I don't see why I would want to do that. I want the inferior emacs process to read from the original emacs process. Or pass the variables from the original emacs process to the inferior emacs process. But why the other way around?

Using dynamic scoping and call-process are too different ways. When
using call-process you have to write some output in the inferior emacs
process and investigate that in the original emacs process.
