You know more than I about these things, I'm sure, but this doesn't seem accurate to me. As far as I can tell, emacsclientw is a GUI program and emacsclient is a CLI program. Both wait for the server to finish before they return, unless you use -n, in which case both of them return right away. Perhaps a better rule is, when the invoking program is a GUI program (e.g. you're in a shell within emacs), use emacsclientw (emacsclient pops up an annoying console window in this case); when the invoking program is a CLI program where you want messages to come out on stdout, use emacsclient. Does that work? -- Gary Oberbrunner
