Re: point-and-click

[Mats Bengtsson]

Have you tried running the emacsclient command manually from the
command line? Try first with just
emacsclient somefile
which should open the the file in the running emacs. Type
CTRL-X # to end the emacslient session (this is not necessary
when you use emacsclient --no-wait). If it doesn't work, try to
just restart the emacs server (M-x server-start).
Once you get it up and running from the command line, it should
work also from xdvi.
