+@samp{server}. @samp{server} creates a Unix domain socket. The socket
+is either named @file{.emacs_server}, in the user's home directory,
+or @file{esrv-@var{USER-ID}-@var{SYSTEM-NAME}}, in the @file{/tmp}

To get your news reader, mail reader, etc., to invoke
@samp{emacsclient}, try setting the environment variable @code{EDITOR}
