[comp.windows.open-look] iconified emacs

jc@raven.bu.edu (James Cameron) (02/07/91)

What I would like to do is have emacs functions come up iconified.
By this, I simply mean, I would like to add an extra option to 
emacs: '-iconic' *8-)  The desire behind this is I want to load
up both 'emacs -f gnus' and 'emacs -f rmail' from my .xsession as
icons.   Using xterm, it would be possible if I did not want to
have emacs open its own window; I would like to not have to deal with
an extra xterm hanging around...It is a blank xterm which can be
iconified.  What I had thought would/might work would be a construction
like: 'xterm -iconic -e emacs -f rmail'  

Now, I am running X11R4 with openlook.  What, if any, are the solutions
to this problem?

Thank you for your time people.  If anyone is interested, I would
gladly post a summary, or reply in person.

JC
