According to that same help file, you can even do it with Console Vim
under X11 and MS-Windows; but under X11 you need an explicit
--servername argument in both the client and the server if using Console
Vim.
In all cases, both the client and the server must be compiled with the
+clientserver feature.
Best regards,
Tony.
