[Fwd: Open Documents in the same XEmacs window]

[bootleg86 bootleg86]

Hi,
How do I raise frame and change focus to the XEmacs window when I send
a file to winclient.exe?

Theres a solution that uses gnuclient and gnuserv.

Seem like you would need to pass code that raises the frame when
calling gnuclient using -eval option.

gnuclient.exe -eval (select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame))

Do I need to replace winclient.exe with gnuclient and gnuserv.exe? I
tried it with winclient but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
