Eric -- Thanks, very cool. I'm toying around with this approach to do dynamic code-block evaluation in the Org-mode clone I'm making in Vim. No problem with on-export-evaluation, since the vim-org-clone just saves the file and issues a batch mode org-export or org-publish command to emacs, which takes over from there. I think this dynamic evaluation could be useful, but it also seems like a new server is getting called for each emacs --batch mode call. That's cumbersome for this dynamic-evaluation stuff because of start-up overhead for emacs on each call. Is that the way its supposed to work? I'm working on Windows7 and have an Emacs client running when I issue the batch command, which I assumed also means there is a running emacs server. Is the call getting made to the running emacs server? If so, is there some way to avoid the startup overhead (which seems to come from 'Adding c:/program files (x86)/emacs/EmacsW32/lisp/ to load path.'). Or, if my batch call is _not_ making use of the running Emacs server is there some way to get it to use that server? Thanks again, Herb
