Re: point-and-click

[Mats Bengtsson]

The point of using emacsclient is exactly that you open the file
in the emacs process that is already up and running.
However, what you maybe missed is that you need to start the
corresponding server in emacs.
I have the following in my .emacs file:

;;
;; Start the emacs server, so we can use emacsclient
;;
(server-start)
