So IIUC, I have a windowed Emacsen running on a box where I work. If I
run `emacsclient -t somefile.txt` from an SSH connection to that box,
it uses the server that was started by the windowed emacs, but instead
of opening the file in the windowed emacs, it re-routes it to my SSH
session?

This would be extremely useful to me. However, when I tried that on my
box just now, the terminal session froze and the windowed emacs was
brought to the front without the correct buffer being displayed...
wonder what I'm doing wrong... This is in my bash profile:

function ec(){
    emacsclient $1 --alternate-editor="" -t &
}

Any clues?
