It's hidden in the man page under: -d displayname Create the Emacs window on the display specified by displayname. Must be the first option specified in the command line. -nw Tells Emacs not to use its special interface to X. If you use this switch when invoking Emacs from an xterm window, display is done in the xterm window. This must be the first option specified in the command line. -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) Martin Marietta Energy Systems Workstation Support
