    <p>I wonder if anyone has any recommendations as to setup of emacs 23 on OS X. I have been using Linux/Windows for a while and there, I would just open many instances of emacs and they were self-contained - for instance, I could have two separate files in separate frames, each with their own R, Python, and/or shell running. I think this is frowned upon(?) - but it kept the working directory for each script file separate, which I loved.</p> <p>I understand there is some advantage to setting (server-start) in my .emacs file and calling 'emacsclient' rather than 'Emacs' is now the preferred way(?). I found this thread which facilitates this to occur through an Applescript: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/945709/emacs-23-os-x-multi-tty-and-emacsclient">Emacs 23, OS X, multi-tty and emacsclient</a></p> <p>But I wonder if this the only way to go about it - when I open two emacs instances on OS X it gives me the error: </p> <pre><code>** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x3803, name = 'org.gnu.Emacs.ServiceProvider' </code></pre> <p>but opens a new frame allows me to edit files. I understand that for vim on OS X there is something called 'mvim' which allows multiple instances of vim to be launched, but is there something similar for emacs? Sorry for the long-winded question - in summary, I guess these are the questions for which I would like to solicit your expertise:</p> <p>(1) Is 'emacsclient' the way of the experts, and (2) if not necessarily, is there a way to get multiple instances of emacs 23 (not just frames) running on OS X?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
