My application involves xemacs, so a means of opening a window in an

Part of the solution would include gnuclient outside XEmacs (use the one
that comes with XEmacs rather than the one on the system) and gnuserve
inside XEmacs.
Thanks. This helps, as it's now sufficient to handle one argument instead of
several.
I don't suppose xemacs has a mechanism for opening a list of filenames stored
in a specific file?

You could use the -eval form, -f function, or -l library command-line
options to gunclient if you had a function designed to read a file which
contained the names you wanted loaded. For example, the evaluated form
might contain the list-file's name with a call to a function (perhaps in an
auto-load file) that knows how to read the file and process the filenames it
contains. The saveconf function might be a place to start in seeing how
this is done.
If all you needed were multiple files, I think gnuclient just passes the
command line elements it judges to be files direct to XEmacs. I haven't
tried to open multiple files using gnuclient. I only use it for the
alternate editor command in Pine.
The folks who read comp.emacs.xemacs might be able to help with that.
They've given me some useful ways to code lisp before.
