Why not use the emacs client-server mechanism?

I use the following with the OW filemgr:
 csh -c "/somewhereinyourfilesystem/emacs/etc/emacsclient $FILE >& /dev/null"

First you have to start the emacs server by giving the command
 M-x server-start
to a running emacs.

Whenever you try to edit a file from the filemgr it will pop up in
your RUNNING emacs, so you won't have to wait for a new emacs to start
up every time.

I hope you can make it work. Please write me if you can't.
