    <p>Let me answer your questions indirectly.</p> <p>As you know, <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Invoking-emacsclient.html#Invoking-emacsclient" rel="noreferrer"><code>emacsclient</code></a> provides a service, allowing users to open documents from outside Emacs in an <em>existing</em> Emacs. Is this "the way" of the experts? Depends on the expert. I'm a heavy user of Emacs, but never use <code>emacsclient</code>. Why? Because I never <em>leave</em> Emacs in the first place. All the shells I run are inside Emacs (using a home-brewed <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/" rel="noreferrer">screen</a> package), I read mail in Emacs, etc. There's never a reason for me to type <code>emacsclient</code> at a command line.</p> <p>Your usage model seems to be that you prefer having multiple Emacsen running, making it easier to keep track of which processes and files are being used together. And that makes sense. You could do it all in <strong>one</strong> Emacs if you wish, but it might take some changes in your usage model, or some customizations to help manage multiple interpreters/shells/whatever to your liking.</p> <p>So, if you like multiple instances of Emacs running, then by all means, continue doing so.</p> <p>Regarding the second question, it appears as though having <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>(server-start)</code></a> in your .emacs is causing problems - likely because there's a conflict with two Emacsen trying to use the same port. Check out the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html" rel="noreferrer">documentation</a> for starting the server, and perhaps remove that line from your .emacs, and instead start the server once by using the <code>--daemon</code> command line option.</p> <p>Then, at the command line, you have the choice of whether you want to start a new emacs (by typing <code>emacs</code>) or connect to the server you started (by typing <code>emacsclient</code>).</p>

    1. COThanks for your response - I don't have (server-start) on when I get the bootstrap_register fail, and still get a warning (can't connect to server) when the server is running and I start another instance. I think this is an OS X app thing: http://osdir.com/ml/emacs.macintosh.osx/2005-07/msg00036.html, and the Carbon Emacs page foreshadows warnings when opening multiple instances. From what I gather my options are to (1) ignore the warnings and continue working in the second/third/... instance, or (2) become better at trying to manage multiple working directories.

    2. COto continue (hit 600char limit before) - thanks for the suggestion. Your suggestion does indeed work, albeit with warnings (and the first file I edit is associated with the server instance).

    3. COI needed to run emacsclient a few days ago to access my session at work from home so I could check the output of some commands running in a shell. I also like using it for $EDITOR so I can have a nice environment for editing crontabs, etc.

A row detail

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.
