There are two emacs programs that can tell emacs what to do.
"emacsclient" can tell a running emacs to edit a file.  When done,
emacsclient exits.  (One X emacs session for all your editing needs).

"gnudoit" (or something of that nature) can send arbitrary lisp
instructions to emacs, though I haven't played with it myself yet.  I
sort of mutated the name.  I must've been thinking deep (important?)
thoughts. ;)

Anyway, the point is that what you execute for an existing app is
different from what you run for an already existing application.
