I can't seem to get Emacs 22 to sit up and perform the same way, and I
don't want all the command switching that I seem to be forced into if I
take EmacsW32. I just want "Edit with Emacs" and file associations to
work again. My Emacs 19/20 environment used gnuserv if I recall
correctly (the disk was dying after I got my user data off it).
I can get emacsclient/emacsserver to work for "Edit with Emacs" once
Emacs is running, but can't get it to start the first time. How do I do
this? Can EmacsW32 be configured to leave the keyboard alone? I know
it's confusing -- and even occasionally find myself scrolling forward
when I want to paste -- but I use Emacs on UNIX for work, too, so my
fingers mostly know the original key bindings.
(The solution to starting Emacs the first time using
emacsclient/emacsserver on UNIX leverages the ALTERNATE_EDITOR
environmental variable, a concept that does not exist on Windows, as far
as I know.)
Thanks!
