You could write a little script like this: #!/bin/sh open -a Aquamacs\ Emacs /Applications/Aquamacs\ Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient "$@" open -a Terminal and then use this instead of emacsclient as your editor. > I observe that the Mac terminal does this with anything you open via > the command-line 'open' command. Not true. If you run "open -a TextEdit" or "open -a Aquamacs\ Emacs", the editor window will open in front and have the focus. It depends on which app is active. -- Martin ---------------------------- Info ----------------------------- List Post: <mailto:macosx-emacs <at> email.esm.psu.edu> List Archives: <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.macintosh.osx>
