By accident, I got the answer as mail instead of as posting. So this is
the (partial) answer:

This is my original reply:

  Oh, I don't expect that you should have any problems with this.  Simply do
  the following:

    1. `setenv TEXEDIT <emacsdir>/src/emacsclient' somewhere in your
       initialization stuff.
    2. Give the command `server-start' in your emacs (maybe start up your emacs
       like so: emacs -f server-start).
    3. This should bring you up in a buffer within your emacs, which you should
       finish off with a C-x # (don't bother writing this down - it's
       advertised).

I thought that I should take a whack at it before I sent everything off,
expecting it to work easily and gracefully.  However, I got this error in the
subshell:

  ? e
  No pages of output.
  Transcript written on foo.log.
  Usage: /usr/local/gnuemacs/etc/emacsclient [filename]
  ! Trouble executing command /usr/local/gnuemacs/etc/emacsclient

Anybody recognize this?

Thank you for your answer.

I tried it with 
    1. `setenv TEXEDIT <emacsdir>/etc/emacsclient %s' 
and it worked, so only the <filename> argument was missing.

However, I found no possibility of setting the cursor to the right
line (where the error is found).

Using emacs I can use
        'setenv TEXEDIT emacs +%d %s'
but I found no way to pass an argument to emacsclient.

Any ideas?
