Re: How can I open file in exist window?

Fabriece,

I'm afraid that your WinClient wont work with XEmacs 21.4 becase it lacks
"Eval" DDE topic.  XEmacs 21.4 processes only open requests on "System" topic.

Eugene (<[email protected]>) and me made a workaround.  A Python script (from
Eugene) serves as a Window Client that generates a Lisp form and stores it in a
file with specific extension (say, .dde.el).  Then client passes the file to
XEmacs usin "open".  A hook in XEmacs (my work) recognizes the extension and
processes the forms, then closes file as if it was not there.

FYI, I attached XEmacs side code to the posting.

Nickolay.
