making emacsclient create/destroy a frame

[Roland Roberts]

I'm trying to figure out a way to make "emacsclient FOO" create a new
frame for editing FOO, then have C-x # destroy the frame.  It's
sort-of working....


    (delete-frame
     (setq server-window (make-frame)))

    (defun rbr:server-done-hook ()
      (if (boundp 'server-window)
          (delete-frame server-window)))

    (setq server-done-hook 'rbr:server-done-hook)

Okay, the first thing is creating and destroying the initial frame is
kludgey beyond words, but once done makes server-switch-buffer do the
right thing.  Almost.

Although rbr:server-done-hook destroys the frame, server-switch-buffer
creates a new one when it tries to pop back to the pre-server edit
configuration.

I was hoping I could get away with just setting some variable, but at
this point I'm browsing the code in server.el trying to figure out
what I have to do.  Has anyone done this before and can give me a
clue?

TIA,

roland
