Whoops, -n is --no-wait, nothing to do with frames, not sure what I  
was thinking. I'm using emacs 23 CVS head on Leopard, and it doesn't  
create a frame by default (I see there's a -c --create-frame option  
that *will* force it to make a new frame). It works just the way you'd  
expect it to...
