Hello all,

I have been  using emacsclient to  bring files into  emacs and I would
like to add functionality    to   the  server-start  and   server-edit
commands.  Presently, a file is inserted  into a buffer  and I get the
message 'When done with a buffer, type C-x  #.'. When I do this, emacs
then switches back to the  previous buffer. The  way I would like this
process to work is for the server to  simply insert  the file into the
buffer and immediately issue  a  server-done to  emacsclient. I  would
also like to retain the original  implementation  for  mail, etc.  Can
someone describe how I can change the current function,  and revert to
the original when desired?

Thanks in advance,
Larry.
