Subject: bug#6963: 23.2; emacsclient -e "(remember-other-frame)"  doesn’t give an error-code on error.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I wanted to use emacsclient with remember mode via 
   
    emacsclient -e "(remember-other-frame)" || emacsclient -ce "(remember-
other-frame)" 
   
to make sure that I get a remember field as fast as possible, whether I 
already have a frame or not. 
   
I get “*ERROR*: Unknown terminal type”, but the -ce command isn’t evoked. 
   
What I expected was to get an error code, so the second command gets called 
and gives me the remember frame. 
   
(which is darn useful, by the way!)

Best wishes and many thanks for working on emacs! It’s just great! 
Arne
