Yep, that works. In the hopes of saving a newbie or two some time,
here's _exactly_ what I put into ~/.bashrc:
# for editing
function gnue() {
[ $# = 1 ] && pidof xemacs && gnuclient -q $1 || xemacs -nw $1;
}
After editing and saving the file, source it (. ~/.bashrc) at a shell
prompt, and then gnue FILE will do the right thing.
(Don't forget to put (gnuserv-start) in your .emacs file!)
Thanks to Chris and the other people in the thread,
john.
