Followup-To: 
Distribution: 
Organization: Mitel. Kanata (Ontario). Canada.
Keywords: emacsclient

Configuration:
	gnu emacs 18.55
	Sun3 or Sun4 running SunOS 4.0.3.
	Running sunview or X11.R3 (MIT)
Repeat by having minimum ~/.emacs file containing line
	(server-start)

step 1: Run emacs in one window.
step 2: In another window, run "emacsclient file".

File appears in emacsserver (as it should) but after hitting the first
key (any key) in the emacs session, the contents of the file vanish.

If step 2 is repeated, things will work properly.

Workaround: for some reason, the following line must be
	in the .emacs file.
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)  ; stop getting that start up screen

Not a major problem but it surprised a few people here.
