Re: Read-whole-buffer command and cursor

[Gary Bishop <gb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought about doing this with the gnudoit program. This is a member of 
the gnuclient family. gnuclient is the program that lets a single emacs 
instance appear to other applications like multiple standalone editors. 
gnudoit allows you to tell a running emacs to run a command (some elisp) 
that you put on gnudoit's command line.

Now it seems to me that it would be pretty easy to hack the TCL server so 
that when speaking is done, it signals emacs through this mechanism. Once 
you got that going, then you could implement all kinds of synchronization 
capabilities.
