Subject: bin/mdw-editor: Use `emacsclient' to edit files.
X-Git-Url: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/profile/commitdiff_plain/e2fd2096c958f22c6beba9ac82641f8735193f55

bin/mdw-editor: Use `emacsclient' to edit files.

Emacs 23 can open new frames in terminals quite happily.  So we may as
well use it rather than starting up new Emacsen.
